AlbakiReads Editorial

A practical framework for addressing fear in horseback riding

Jody Lyons centers the book on riding-related fear rather than on equitation or horse-training technique alone. It presents fear extinction and memory replacement as scientific principles to apply in barn and saddle contexts, with exercises aimed at identifying and rating fear, assessing a situation realistically, working through emotions, and replacing fearful associations. The scope includes both riders managing their own anxiety and instructors supporting students’ confidence. Numerous images and illustrations accompany the material, and this paperback is identified as the black-and-white edition.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Horseback riders seeking structured help with riding-related fear
  • Riding instructors working with anxious students
  • Readers interested in psychology-informed approaches to equestrian confidence
