From 2000 to 2006 he coached riders on several US Equestrian Teams to success at World Championships, World Equestrian Games and Olympics.

Coach Stewart has been the subject of numerous magazine and newspaper articles and is a regular presenter on the Horse Radio Network as their equestrian sport psychology and performance expert.

For the first time ever, an equestrian sport psychology class – on your horse where you belong! As riders, we continually encounter stressful and unpredictable events and how we handle them greatly influences our ability to succeed. With this in mind, seven unique mental preparation clinics, called Psycho Clinics, have been designed to teach your riders how to control feelings of stress, confusion, doubt and performance anxiety in their practices so that these negative emotion will no longer affect them in their competitions.

Many riders agree that some of their greatest challenges are mental – yet most of our practices tend to focus only on the physical. Let the BOX, ZIPPER, DICE, TEST, STEPS, PLAYGROUND and CODE help your riders gain control of their motions by teaching them how control of their emotions.
