A confident rider with no fear nor stress

To Michel Robert, the main obstacle for riders is their mind. This is the reason why mental preparation is the heart of Michel’s teaching. Indeed, it’s important to understand that without a mind free of fear or interfering emotions, it becomes difficult to reach the relaxation necessary for a good communication with the horse.

Many riders don’t improve because they are unable to let go of the fear of falling or of not doing well enough, or the fear of other people’s judgement…or even of some pre-conceived idea or just bad habits.
