Product Description
Book Description
Third book in the Perfect... series from the top UK horse-whisperer, Kelly Marks
Product Description
'Some people dream of winning while others dream of losing their fears'
However ambitious or basic your goal, Kelly Marks is on hand to help you make that dream a reality. Despite major setbacks early on, Kelly Marks was determined to live a life with horses and went on to win BSJA showjumping championships and major races as a Lady Jockey; she finished her racing career winning the Ladies European Championship. Kelly has since gone on to become Britain's most popular Equine Problem Solver and founder of the Intelligent Horsemanship organisation, which helps horses and people worldwide. Kelly's first two books went on to be international bestsellers, but this book could be her most valuable yet. As true horse people know, while technique and knowledge are essential for good horsemanship, how you feel about yourself is the missing link to the greatest results. Using the proven techniques in this book you will learn how to:
Resolve your fears when dealing with horses
Be the confident person your horse needs you to be
Be your own best friend as well as your horse's
Stop making excuses
Plan your goals and reach your dreams
Plan hacking success or championship success!

Format:Paperback
Another outstanding book from Kelly Marks. Every horse handler needs Perfect Manners and Perfect Partners is the next step in building that special relationship with your horse. Now Perfect Confidence completes the Perfect trilogy.
This time Kelly excels herself by showing us how to improve our self esteem and capability, whilst enabling us to set and achieve realistic goals. And if that isn't enough, the book does it in a fun, interactive and easily readable way.
As you would expect there are lots of superb photographs of Kelly's former problem pony, American Pie and some rather unexpected, particulary touching contributions from Kelly's mentor, Monty Roberts, as well as from Kelly's major influence, her father, race horse trainer Douglas Marks, who sadly died before the book went to print.
When you've read it, you can look forward to seeing a different world as things change around you, especially if that world involves a horse.

AFTER HAVING A FALL SOME YEARS AGO, THEN AFTER RETURNING TO RIDING I FOUND MYSELF BEING A VERY NERVOUS RIDER, I WAS READING THIS BOOK AND WAS THINKING I CAN'T DO THAT, BUT I FOUND THAT I COULD, THAT EVERY TIME I HAVE A NEGATIVE THOUGHT ( SUCH AS I AM GOING TO FALL OFF, I AM GOING TO GET HURT ), I CAN REPLACE IT WITH A POSTIVE ONE, I HAVE HAD ONE RIDING LESSON SINCE READING THIS BOOK AND AFTERWARDS TWO PEOPLE TOLD ME I RODE REALLY WELL, ( NOBODY NORMALLY SAYS ANYTHING TO ME AFTER A LESSON ), THIS IS MY THIRD CONFINDENCE SELF HELP BOOK ( ALL BY DIFFERENT AUTHORS ) AND IS SIMPLY THE BEST, IT DOES NOT TAKE AWAY YOUR NERVES, BUT NOW I FEEL THAT I CONTROL THEM, NOT THAT THEY CONTROL ME.
Now a year on from reading this book, I can now hack out on roads, canter across fields, can cope with riding new horses, do dressage like ride a horse in a outline, I spent years trying to cope with my nerves and have learnt more in the last year, then in all the years I have been riding, a couple of months ago I fell off and for the first time did not lose confidence. Everyone that knows me has said this book has improved my riding. I have learnt more in the last year then all the years I have been riding put together.

Having a young horse, and getting older it is difficult to be as confident as I once was!! Couple of falls later confidence was at an all time low. Had bought a different book of Kelly's and it was only ok. But this is very good, helpful without being insulting, and good exercises, actually jumped a very small course today on my mare and haven't jumped for months!
