Jo has been regularly invited to Your Horse Live since 2005. She has been a panel member, speaker and expert adviser in the Learning Zone. This year Your Horse Live is on 14-15 November at Stoneleigh. Jo will be answering questions on the Horse Answers Live stage at 10.00am and 3.35pm on Saturday and 11.45am on Sunday. You can also meet Jo on Stand M48 (opposite the simulators and Horse Answers stage). Jo offers on the spot techniques, tips and hints that you can take away with you and use immediately. She received this email after YHL 2008. I attended your confidence workshop at 'Your Horse Live' back in November and just wanted to let you know how I'm getting on. Initially I have to admit I was sceptical but in the summer I had the chance to go out in the horse box with our yard owner, something which I had never done before. I was pretty scared to say the least. In fact I was so terrified I nearly called it off but I so wanted to get out there and ride somewhere different and I just knew I would have such a good time if only I could get over my nerves. I quickly ran through the tapping sequence - at this stage anything was worth a try and better than chickening out. I was shaking a bit at first but I needn't have worried in the least as my horse was an absolute gentleman. We had some lovely long canters and I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. Sorry its taken so long to get round to emailing. Too many horses so little time! Whenever I feel the need I just tap away my fears. |
