Experience New Freedom and Unlimited Possibilities.
Confidence Within Training Series 3.0
We begin on Wednesday, October 28.
As we connect with and live what we love with our horses — how we love it, what we value, and why — we open the door to unlimited adventure, joy, and success.
"I love this program. I can't tell you enough what a change it has made in my life and competitive life... Learning how to talk to myself has made a huge difference in me, and I know in my horse too. I've made more meaningful decisions even. My mare has never worked better, and I know it has to do with my growing confidence and acceptance of myself. I could go on and on." ~ EE
Radiant Confidence Within as You Ride and Live
Connect to Your Heart
Be Focused and Present on Your Horse
Navigate Challenges
Never Give Up Your Spirit
Our horse lives are multi-dimensional adventures.
First and foremost, we belong to ourselves. We determine our confidence.
We live in our minds and hearts all the time, so we need to nourish and encourage ourselves internally. Kindness starts within ourselves.
We can call up courage and navigate difficult situations in an open, clear, and brave way during challenges big, and small.
You are the keeper of your spirit. You can be your own cherished, awesome, cheer-leading private coach.
Discover How Tuning Into Yourself Can Transform Your Riding
· Connect to yourself - what you love, your values, goals, and a personal vision of excellence and resiliency that excites you.
· Give yourself internal messages that consistently support what rings true for you (instead of criticizing yourself).
· Call up the courage to face your fears and take a new tiny step forward.
· Stay true to yourself.
· Correlate all you do for yourself with the lessons from your horse, too!
Hello from Barbra Schulte,
High-Performance Coach
Welcome and thank you! I'm delighted you're here.
We all feel vulnerable from time to time and struggle with confidence. I understand. My passion is helping riders unlock their potential and joy.
I started creating 'mental skills' courses and online riding programs over 25 years ago. Today in our classes we have 1000's of students from around the world.
CONFIDENCE WITHIN is based on research, my years as a trainer, and hours of coaching riders in all disciplines.
The skills and exercises in this program form the very foundation of all you do on a horse. That's because confidence begins with checking into your heart first as you make choices that resonate with you, navigate challenges and rise when you fall. It all starts with you.
I am truly honored to be your Confidence Coach.
I'm rooting for you, Barb
What's Included in
CONFIDENCE WITHIN?
It's a 6-week, very gentle and thorough course that gives you time to study each step of the training. You try them out, then you have the opportunity to come back to me with questions in the course comments section and during 6 live Prime Time Coaching Calls.
From my years of coaching, I know that you learn best when you're not overwhelmed or pressured, and, very importantly, when you take in small bites of information—one at a time—and then get direct feedback.
You'll follow a simple study track with exercises, then follow-up coaching and conversation with each other six times over six weeks.
The Six Weeks and Four Modules
You'll be guided through a process of growing a renewed sense of freedom and ease within - and - you'll see how those same ideas apply directly to your relationship with your horse.
Module One
COMING HOME TO YOURSELF
Why do you do what you do with your horse?
What are the things that are so incredibly important to you about your horse and the environment you choose for yourself and your horse?
Where do you get instruction, and who coaches you?
And then I’ll share ways for you to listen to your horse, too. We’ll walk through what YOUR HORSE values. What are things non-negotiable to them?
Module Two
Deepen Your Confidence
Cultivate an internal voice that becomes your most powerful ally and coach.
What is the highest vision you have of yourself and your horse?
And what could you do that inspired you day in and day out to stay true to yourself?
And when you ride, you can use visualization techniques to see what you want first and then ask your horse.
Then during the last week of Module Two, we’ll get together online on a coaching call.
Week Three
Take Time and Create a Personal Credo - a week break from video content to give you time to write your personal reflection (if you like)
We’ll discuss: A conversation about creating a Personal Reflection or Credo and the value of journaling
Module Three
Call Up Courage
We'll explore courage and vulnerability. Sometimes, we all feel that way, but we can learn how to navigate unsettling moments, be brave, and take small steps forward with confidence.
What if you trusted your intuition instead of doubting yourself?
What if you treated yourself as you would treat a dear, dear friend?
And with a horse, we can listen to their fear, help them face it – and they too can take a small next step.
Module Four
Ride and Rise
We'll explore resiliency for times when things fall apart in a big way for us or our horse or both.
What do we believe about such times in our lives?
What if we took as many moments, days, or months as we need to reflect and gain perspective?
In the spirit of confidence within, we can come back home to our hearts and trust that things will work out for us.
I know there comes a time to evaluate your horse or handle the challenges of change – as in barns and trainers. We'll explore.
Then during the last week of Module Four, we'll get together again online for a coaching call.

WHO WOULD BENEFIT MOST FROM CONFIDENCE WITHIN 3.0?
All levels and ages - from amateur to seasoned professional
That's because the skills that cultivate true riding confidence are not dependent on what you see on the outside. Cultivating confidence is not a function of age or experience. Each rider's own scorecard best measures confidence. No one knows someone else's story.
Riders of all disciplines
Believing in ourselves has nothing to do with what kind of riding we do. We welcome riders from all disciplines.
Those who want to ride at their best in any situation
That can be anytime... during practices, riding in clinics, being alert on the trail, or hauling for a world title and wanting to shine in the show arena.
Riders who want to connect more with their horse.
WHO WOULD NOT BE A CANDIDATE FOR CONFIDENCE WITHIN?
Riders looking only for technical skill solutions to their challenges.
Riders who believe confidence is measured by and developed only through external results.
"Digging deeper into each layer and applying it to my horse life and in all aspects of my life. The course has brought clarity to me about my horse journey and my entire life.
I love being a part of such a supportive community...
I had a serious injury a few years ago which left me with some physical limitations, but continue to find creative ways to do what I want to do. I enjoy working with my two stock horses in skills needed for Stock Horse of Texas, with the occasional show planned."
"I am so grateful to have this opportunity." ~Jackie
There is no time limit to take the course. All videos and transcripts are housed on a Confidence Within website indefinitely.
The weekly gatherings will be an exciting time to answer questions, share stories and give each other feedback.
"This is all a new beginning for me. Last fall and winter my new horse was laid up. I used the time to read and study your classes and go deep into me and my values and whys.
"Words truly can't express how much this has meant to me and helped me in so many ways.
"I truly appreciate my wonderful horse who, with you, is showing me that yes, I am enough! Baby steps work!
Thank you, always and again,"
~Jini
"I took my time and really absorbed the messages. I did the homework and applied what I learned."
I started to FEEL so good that my friends commented about how confident and calm I looked. It wasn't just something that showed only on the outside. I really felt calm inside."
~ Cindy
Everything we do with a horse... every decision we make... and every moment we spend, happens on the inside first before it ever happens on the outside.
There are many approaches to how to grow confidence in the horse world. But what makes this course unique is that it BEGINS with your spirit.
It lays out a simple 4-step process you can practice and refer back to for a lifetime.
First, you come home to your heart, which automatically grows your confidence because your choices are according to you.
Then you deepen that confidence – over time – with practices that keep you grounded on the inside.
When you're feeling vulnerable, you have ways to call up courage.
And if BIG heartbreaks come, you're willing to walk through them, rise again, and never give up your spirit.
The practices keep you safe in your heart and authentic - as you move forward.
We who share our lives with horses are so lucky. We learn about them, and they teach us about ourselves.
This is a limited enrollment opportunity.
It's like a college course. You may register in the next few days, and then we'll begin this session.
You have no risk. You have a full 30-day money-back guarantee.
If Confidence Within is not right for you, just let me know, and we will refund your money. No problem!
This is the only training available for riders that guides you gently but thoroughly through a process to cultivate joy as you stay true to yourself. The practices and strategies can build your confidence and support you for a lifetime.
Come Join Us in the EXPANDED CONFIDENCE WITHIN 3.0 Training for Riders!
"I want to express my heartfelt thanks for this wonderful program. It has been a continuing inspiration, contained so many helpful teachings, and has been fun. I love having a ready reference to help navigate the storms of life when they arise and a reference for decision-making when it is time for a change." ~ Jackie S
