23.01.2022 2021 Performance Diary’s It is that time of the year again, where we print up the new year diaries! And hopefully in 2021 you will be able to schedule plenty of comps, out rides or clinics!!... This is a personalised A4 sized diary to keep track of your training sessions, lessons and how you perform at competitions all in one book. Set goals, plan your monthly comps and list all the new things you will need to train with your horses. While also providing a week to a page overview, so you can clearly map out your week and make sure you schedule your rides in! They are priced at $39 which includes postage, and if you order them by Thursday 3rd of December, I will express post them out so you receive them before Christmas! Making a great present to put in a stocking! All orders received after the 3rd of December will go into the second print run at the start of the new year. If you would like to purchase a Performance Diary email Danielle at [email protected] or FB message with the below information: Name you want on the front of the diary Postal address I will then send you through the payment information. Have a great weekend!

22.01.2022 SUCCESS TIP! Don’t stop when you’re tired. Stop when you’re done.

21.01.2022 A great opportunity for a local rider to get some amazing sponsorship from Elite Equine Veterinarians. The knowledge team at Elite have cared for my horses for more years than I can remember, I think since they opened up!! As a sponsored rider for many years, I can definitely say they are extremely supportive & professional.... Great team to be part of & a great team of vets & nurses to treat & care for your horses.

21.01.2022 SUCCESS TIP! Sometimes we’re tested not to show our weaknesses, but to discover our strengths. Photo featuring 2020 Sponsored Ride, Ellyse Davis.

21.01.2022 Great to hear our Sponsored rider, Carmel McErlean had a great first ride back today! To help her stay relaxed & confident she used my 7 Step Body Check Guide, which can be downloaded from my website for free at https://dressageplus.com.au/

21.01.2022 Very proud of Sponsored Rider, Melissa Hoskings - Taafe. She had an awesomeweekend out competing at Werribee

21.01.2022 Do you have a 2020 Dressage Plus Performance Diary? If you got a diary at the start of the year I just want to say SORRY! I have realised that for some weird reason it is missing a couple of weeks out of it.... I thought I had checked this before it went to the printers but maybe it was the baby brains at the time, or perhaps the pages got stuck together at the printers? Who knows, anyway it happened & I have fixed my diary by writing in the missing dates on the right-hand side. I know this isn’t the best option, but it is working. If this isn’t working for you please send me a message so I can make it right. Again, sorry & I will triple check for the 2021 diaries.

20.01.2022 SUCCESS TIP! Don’t wait for opportunity. Create it! Photo featuring Sponsored Rider Mandi Keck.

19.01.2022 SUCCESS TIP! Wake up with determination. Go to bed with satisfaction

18.01.2022 What a great image to have in your mind when riding a half halt. Lots of wheelies in the next ride I think

18.01.2022 For anyone in the area that is suspecting their horse might have ulcers, a great way to find out before you spend all the money on the ulcer treatment!

17.01.2022 SUCCESS TIP! The key to success is to focus on goals, not obstacles.

17.01.2022 What a great concept to think about when riding!

17.01.2022 Thank you to all of the riders that sent through your sponsorship applications. We have had an overwhelming response and selecting the team will be challenging, but fun! The successful riders will be announced Monday 11th of January. If you applied, keep an eye out on your email inbox or on Facebook Messenger, I will contact you directly Monday to advise if you were successful. ... I’m looking forward to meeting the new team!

14.01.2022 Our little munchkin is 4 months old! Chloe is such a part of the family & routine now (although not much of a routine happening yet ) I can barley remember what life was like pre bubs! Although I do know I used to ride a lot more And I thought I didn’t have enough time back then, now the days over in a blink lol ... We love you so much little lady & adore all of your smiles & giggles I had to include the sad, crying pic! Just too cute!!

14.01.2022 push yourself to get up before the rest of the world - start with 7am, then 6am, then 5:30am. go to the nearest hill with a big coat and a scarf and watch the ...sun rise. push yourself to fall asleep earlier - start with 11pm, then 10pm, then 9pm. wake up in the morning feeling re-energized and comfortable. lie in your garden, feel the sunshine on your skin. get into the habit of cooking yourself a beautiful breakfast. fry tomatoes and mushrooms in real butter and garlic, fry an egg, slice up a fresh avocado and squirt way too much lemon on it. sit and eat it and do nothing else. stretch. start by reaching for the sky as hard as you can, then trying to touch your toes. roll your head. stretch your fingers. stretch everything. buy a 1L water bottle. start with pushing yourself to drink the whole thing in a day, then try drinking it twice. buy a beautiful diary and a beautiful black pen. write down everything you do, including dinner dates, appointments, assignments, coffees, what you need to do that day. no detail is too small. strip your bed of your sheets and empty your underwear draw into the washing machine. wash, then hang them in the sunshine with care. make your bed in full. dig your fingers into the earth, plant a seed. see your success as it grows everyday. organise your room. fold all your clothes (and bag what you don’t want), clean your mirror, your laptop, vacuum the floor. light a beautiful candle. breathe. practice your deep breathing. ground yourself. have a luxurious shower with your favourite music playing. wash your hair, scrub your body, brush your teeth. lather your whole body in moisturiser, get familiar with the part between your toes, your inner thighs, the back of your neck. push yourself to go for a walk. take your headphones, go to the beach and walk. smile at strangers walking the other way and be surprised how many smile back. bring your dog and observe the dog’s behaviour. realise you can learn from your dog. message old friends with personal jokes. reminisce. suggest a catch up soon, even if you don’t follow through. push yourself to follow through. think long and hard about what interests you. crime? sex? boarding school? long-forgotten romance etiquette? find a book about it and read it. there is a book about literally everything. become the person you would ideally fall in love with. let cars merge into your lane when driving. pay double for parking tickets and leave a second one in the machine. stick your tongue out at babies. help an animal. compliment people on their cute clothes. challenge yourself to not ridicule anyone for a whole day. then two. then a week. walk with a straight posture. look people in the eye. ask people about their story. talk to acquaintances so they become friends. lie in the sunshine. daydream about the life you would lead if failure wasn’t a thing. open your eyes. take small steps to make it happen for you...

10.01.2022 SPONSORED RIDER PROFILE: Jodie Barr Horse: Lexington Furst Dream Level: Prelim/Novice EA Dressage Rider... Location: Brandy Creek, QLD Jodie’s 2021 year has already taken a big turn, when she had to retire her 14yo Stockhorse, Kesha (Grey horse in pics). She has had Kesha since she was 4 years old, training & competing her up to Novice. Mum of two beautiful, young boys, Jodie had put her competition riding on hold, however, as of last year she got back in the competition arena. After the 3-year competition break, Jodie did herself proud, placing Reserve Prelim at Townsville Dressage Club Champs and Highest Percentage overall at Whitsunday Equestrian Group Supreme Dressage event, also cracking the 70% mark in the Prelim! Jodie has waisted no time with her horse set back, already purchasing a stunning young Warmblood Lexington Furst Dream (AKA Jacko). With the challenges that come with a new horse, I look forward to working with Jodie to help her work through any self-limiting beliefs that might pop up over the year. Welcome to the Dressage Plus team, Jodie! To read more about the 2021 Dressage Plus Sponsored Riders you can visit our website at https://dressageplus.com.au/sponsored-riders

09.01.2022 Congratulations to the below Sponsored riders That have been out competing! Andrea Parker from QLD had a successful Day competing at a local Club Day in the Medium class.

SA Rider Lisa Fehrmann, had another positive outing winning the Pony Novice class with a 67.94% More excitingly, Lisa was feeling more confident at the competition with her young gelding giving her another more relaxed warm up! And even though down here in Victoria we aren’t allowed to get out to compete, Nicole Bentley has been entering the online Equestrian Life Virtual Winter Dressage competition series, gaining lots of positive feedback & insight. Keep up the learning girls, love it!! Photos of Andrea & her beautiful mare Nonie from last weekend.

05.01.2022 Does anyone else experience a drop in concentration as their rides go on? Or their horse starts to misbehave or shy for no apparent reason as you get further into the ride? Over the years I definitely have! This has been one of my biggest training challenges, both Rondo & I being able to maintain our concentration for a whole ride! ...Continue reading

05.01.2022 Some good mindset tips for training Flying Changes

04.01.2022 Thanks Danielle, my mindset has improved out of sight, and although the negative thoughts and anxiousness sometimes creep in I have noticed I now have some great tools to keep it under control. Who would have thought that I could now actually be enjoying my tests instead of wanting to vomit! Lisa Fehrmann I love getting messages like this, go Lisa! ... As a SA rider, Lisa Fehrman is lucky to be able to still be out competing through COVID! With her young pony, Pete, she won her Novice test & placed 2nd in her Prelim test last weekend.
