Psychological Skills for Young Riders

Does your child struggle with nerves?

Perhaps they:

  • Panic when things don’t go to plan
  • Worry about making mistakes
  • Lose confidence trying something new
  • Feel overwhelmed under pressure
  • Struggle to focus after a mistake
  • Get caught up worrying about what might happen

About the workshop

Janice Partington of JP Equestrian & Mind Coaching is running a workshop for young riders at Barton End Stables, giving your child the mental skills to help them:

  • Understand what happens when nerves occur
  • Recognise their own warning signs
  • Develop tools they can use to manage nerves effectively

Confidence isn’t about never feeling nerves. It’s about knowing what to do when you are.
