Truly, Truly Awesome!,
By Nuts About Books (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: It's Not Just About the Ribbons: It's About Enriching Riding and Life with Innovative Tools and Winning Strategies (Hardcover)
I very, very seldom give a book 5 stars, but I really and truly loved this book. Everything about it is encouraging and uplifting - it's even better than That Winning Feeling, Savoie's previous book on this topic. As someone who wrestles with focus, patience, and avoiding distractions when I ride, I was totally impressed with Jane Savoie's simple approach to improving one's arsenal of visualization and positive-thinking techniques. Simply by training your mind, you can hugely improve your performance and your enjoyment of riding. And these techniques are totally applicable to all endeavours in life. The ideas are not new, but have seldom been expressed so kindly and so clearly, particularly with respect to horses. As a bonus, the hardcover edition of this book is also very beautiful, with lovely photos, illustrations and layout. Highly recommended!!

An extremely helpful book for "bats in the attic" or that inside voice!,
By Pegasus - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: It's Not Just About the Ribbons: It's About Enriching Riding and Life with Innovative Tools and Winning Strategies (Hardcover)
Although I have not owned this book for a great deal of time when writing this review, already it has become a firm favourite.
When that little voice inside us keeps telling us, watch out, this horse may shy and you will be off, or watch this horse it is a very dodgy ride,today it's too windy/rainy/cold,or even, I cannot possibly ride my horse outside on the roadside, etc, etc. If you have any problem with being absolutely confident or are being overly nervous, then this book is definitely for you. I found that when I was younger, I didn't even think of any consequences to riding a horse - it was such a tremendous feeling - and I went everywhere possible with my horse. As you grow older, you start to think what MIGHT happen (or at least I did). This is where this book again comes in to help. It is so very positive and also helps with other areas of one's life. I cannot recommend this book highly enough to anyone having problems with nerves, confidence, courage or determination. After all that is said, at an older age I own a particular horse who has definitely challenged my abilities as a trainer by throwing in some 'before unheard of' type of problem, one that I could not look up or seek help from anyone else and with which I have had to cope (thankfully and mercifully successfully now). It took almost two years to overcome some of her problems and she is still finding more for me. I expect she will always be a challange, and explosive, but she is here with me and safe and not in some pet pack as dog food. Strangest thing of all I suppose is that I genuinely care for this horse and would not part with her. The moral being that I needed all the help I could find both in this book and clicker-training. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful:

It's Not Just About The Ribbons,
By Linda Sternberg - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: It's Not Just About the Ribbons: It's About Enriching Riding and Life with Innovative Tools and Winning Strategies (Hardcover)
This was the first of the three books I ordered that I read. Couldn't wait to get it and did not put it down once started. Tons of insight on how to approach training and riding when you don't have a lot of money to spend for lessons and personnel trainers. Very useful on how to stay motivated, how to use your inner self to conquer doubts, fears, and build confidence. The results are immediate when you choose to apply what Jane recommends. Very easy reading and any one can do this.
