 “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, U.S. Olympian

 “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, Dartmouth Equestrian Team Head Coach, Founder of the Athletic Equestrian League

 “After attending one of Daniel’s workshop sessions, I always feel energized 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 fervor 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!” — Erin Woodall, Activities and Events Director, U.S. Pony Clubs, Inc.
