Hello All!  I know Mondays are the worst, so make the time until you get back to the barn go by quicker by reading some of these great articles by Jane Savoie.  I found these articles after I reading and thoroughly enjoying one of her books.  "It's Not Just About the Ribbons" It's About Enriching Riding (and Life) with a Winning Attitude discusses using mental strategies to become a better rider including overcoming fear, tension, frustration and even improving your position.  It was fun to read, not like a textbook, and had many great tips on how to improve your riding outside of the saddle.  It's great for those that can't get more than 2 or 3 hours a week in the saddle but also for those that are serious about taking their riding to the next level.

So even if you can't run out and buy a book today, enjoy reading the articles! There are some great videos too.  See you in the barn!
