Do Equestrian Riders Consider Psychology in their Preparation?

[Lovenbury123]

Hi,

My name is Rebecca Lovenbury. I am currently undertaking a BSc Degree in Equine Sports Science at Hartpury College, (UWE). I would like to invite you to take part in a research study as part of my final year Dissertation.

The study I am carrying out is to investigate if equestrian riders consider mental strategies in their preparation for competition. If riders don't consider mental preparation; i would also like to find out why.
The study will require you to complete a purposely written questionnaire and is aimed at riders competing in Showjumping competition, from unaffiliated up to BSJA Foxhunter level.

Your participation in this study would be really appreciated and if you would be interested in the results, feel free to email me at rebecca.lovenbury@hartpury.ac.uk.

If you would like to take part, please follow the link below to fill out the questionnaire.

I am a psychology student so this kind of survey - combining two of my favourite things, horses & psychology - is right up my street! Done
