Reviews
After attending one of Daniel's workshop sessions, I always feel energised to go home, work harder, and do more with my horse. His blend of psychological and physical training reminds us that we are athletic partners to our horses, and we need to prepare ourselves for competition with the same fervour we prepare out mounts. With this book, I now have Daniel's encouragement and support in the comfort of my own home. This book can't replace an in-person session with Daniel, but it is the next best option! -- Eric Woodall
Daniel's rider-specific programs are a must for any serious equestrian athlete. His exercises are a valuable part of the Dartmouth Equestrian Team, and I highly recommend his mental and physical riding programs. -- Sally Batton
Daniel Stewart's mental and physical training exercises would be a great addition to any rider's program. I'm a big fan of his and love reading his articles... I send them to all my students because I know everyone can benefit from becoming more confident, focused, and fit... and Daniel's equestrian sport psychology and fitness programs are a great way to do it! -- Boyd Martin, US Olympian
Behind every great athlete is an even greater mental game. That's where Daniel Stewart comes in. -- Laine Ashker, Advanced Level Eventing Champion, American Eventing Championships 201
Daniel Stewart has put together a wonderful mental coaching program, and I know riders everywhere will really enjoy and benefit from it! -- Lucinda Fredericks, Olympic Silver Medalist
