Invest in yourself. Invest in Your Horse.
Let's get your confidence back with your horse!
"Here I was a professional trainer, who used to be fearless, and I was scared to get on my horse. You can imagine the frustration and shame I felt for that. Dealing with my fear was a very hard task, but I truly believe I needed to feel that depth of fear so that I could better teach my students. And that is how the Ride FearLess Program was created." - Julia Lyons
There are 2 main pieces to my Ride FearLess Program. One is a given, and that is Horsemanship. Fear is rooted in the idea of "what if my horses loses control." So one of the best ways we can possibly work through that and overcome that is learn as much as we can about communicating effectively with our horses so that they are relaxed, and willingly guided by us. However, I found with my own journey that is not enough.
The thing about fear is that it is nothing more than your body’s biological response to trying to stay safe. We tend to put it on ourselves that because of having fear we are less capable, less able, and less than of a rider due to it. But in reality it has nothing to do with that. It only means your brain is smart and is trying to keep you safe. Once you truly learn and understand the way in which your body is physically changing in order to do this, you can make physical changes along with it to rewire your brain from doing it so much.
This is the program I wish that I had when I was going through my own battle with fear! But now you do, so that you can conquer it too.

What do you get in this program?
Consistency.
I am a big believer that everyone can change their life, if they decide to do it. They do, however, need a couple things to do so... knowledge on how to do it, and time commitment. That's why this is a 16 week program. I want people to follow along with me, be inspired, learn, but also be held accountable each week to show up. The rewards are so worth if they do.
Intimate Coaching.
This program is set up to be easy to follow. Every other week you will receive a series of lessons that we will work on for the next two weeks. These lessons are lined out in easy to follow videos that teach you every step of the way. We teach a lot about horsemanship, but also a lot about the brain, how fear works, and our thought process through it all.
Then, on the week where new lessons are not being published we have LIVE COACHING calls to answer your own questions. These are done on zoom. You are able to submit your own videos, and in these coaching calls, I will help educate and problem solve with you as needed.
A Community.
Things are just easier when you have a room of passionate and like minded people to keep you going. To know you are not alone. In this program you are not doing it alone, not only will you have me (Julia) mentoring you throughout the whole thing, but each of you will have access to your own community portal to share stories, successes, questions, trials and more. This is a huge part of the journey, and will set you up for a lifetime of friendships.
