Chestnut Hill riders participated in a clinic with sports psychologist and equitation competitor Tonya Johnston to prepare for the coming show season. The video taped sessions focused on implementing sports psychology techniques – including visualization and setting performance goals – into both flat and jumping exercises. Following the mounted phase, Tonya reviewed each group’s video tape to deepen the lessons learned.
