Improving
Confidence/Managing Fear
Indoor Workshop, Maple
RidgeStable, 1-3:30
Experiencing fear is
common, but for some it
can seriously inhibit
their ability to enjoy
something they truly love.
This session will help
participants learn how
to listen to their fear,
analyze it and decide
the best way to handle
it. Equine psychology
will be explored to enhance
our understanding of why
our horses do what they
do. Specific exercises
to help participants re-establish
trust and regain confidence
will be practiced throughout
this session. |

an opening for boarding.
We offer each horse a

barn but allow them to
live outside in small
herds. Their paddocks
feature run-in shelters
and heated, automatic
waters. We offer excellent
care in a quiet atmosphere.
