Fear is an emotion. We imagine harm in the future. That thought triggers physical changes: fast heartbeat, headache, irritability, rapid breathing, sweating, trembling, muscle tension and more. Most of us know these symptoms from personal experience…but did you know that you can train your emotions?
Last night Barbra and I spent almost two hours discussing the topic of fear. We opened with each of us telling a story about how fear had negatively affected our lives. The greatest part of sharing the story isn’t the negative side of what happened but the reality that a gold nugget of learning was hidden inside these tough times. I learned how to ‘release the outcome.’
Barbra shared how her experience helped her to find her own inner compass and ask 1) What do I have control of? and 2) What do I love?
Much of Barbra’s teaching is on training human emotion and I know from personal experience that one tip can make a huge difference.
Do you deal with fear? Did you miss the live seminar last night? Great news! You can listen to the whole thing right now at the click of a button. You might want to go ahead and download it…we talked and then answered questions for almost two hours!

No one taught you the skills you need to work through these things.
Riders often encounter self-doubt, fear, anxiety, frustration, and other challenging emotions at the barn. The emotions coursing through your body can add clarity, or can make your cues indistinguishable for your horse.
Learning these skills and begin communicating clearly with your horse.

[…] But how am I feeling? Every time I go to ride I feel a little less nervous. I listened to a great interactive talk on fear between Stacy Westfall and Barbara Schulte where they answered some great questions and gave some great tips on how to get over fear, and deal with fear in life and in riding. http://stacywestfallhorseblog.com/2015/04/22/free-download-stacy-westfall-and-barbra-schulte-discuss… […]
Hi Stacy, this was so special. This is from 2 gals who who have walked the talk. This is so horse/horseman specific. We know that you two understand the various kinds of fear that we deal with…and it can vary greatly. Thank you.
P.S. Something that I have used when I am working with horses, especially young, green or ones with issues. When I enter the round pen or ring, I pause at the gate and as I close the gate, the rest of the my world is on the outside— no other life issues can come through that gate with me and my equine partner, friend or student. From there on it is focus and above all BREATHE, smile and enjoy.
