Which rider doesn't know this? A bucking horse, a jump that's too high, an important competition – and suddenly fear sets in! But what if fear becomes a constant companion, making even daily riding no longer enjoyable? This riding school book helps in a practical way to understand one's own fear and to gradually overcome it with the help of various exercises from the field of sports psychology. Dr. Inga Wolframm is a lecturer for the "Horses, Leisure, and Sport" program at Hogeschool Van Hall Larenstein in the Netherlands. She is an accredited sports psychology expert in Germany and the Netherlands and regularly works with riders of all disciplines.
