Flatwork Schooling with Confidence
Specifically designed to help overcome feelings of anxiety, tension, nervousness or apprehension when leading in-hand, schooling and riding your horse or pony in an indoor and outdoor arena.
This new title has been extended to encompass a broader spectrum of issues and concerns connected to leading in-hand, riding and schooling in an indoor and outdoor arena.
At some time or other, you will probably want to ride or school your horse/pony in an outdoor or indoor school, and for some riders, this can be quite a nerve racking experience. Most riders feel that as long as they are riding and working in an enclosed arena, with no apparent obstacles that can cause alarm or fear; like those found on busy roads, or in wide open spaces, they will feel safe, confident, and in control, but for some riders, even this seemingly safer option, can hold may fears and anxieties. The noise of the wind against the wall panels, spooky dark corners, reflections in mirrors, door openings and other horses and riders using the same space, can all add up to a very stressful situation.
Outdoor arenas can be just as stressful for some, if not more so, with the wind and rain to contend with, noises from cars, perhaps the movement of other animals behind hedges, or fencing, maybe even a Farrier working nearby, and all those other activities that take place on an busy yard. If this sounds like your situation, then this Self-Hypnosis session is for you.
Leading a horse in-hand can also present problems for the nervous handler, so this area has also been included in this self-hypnosis session.
How Flat Work Schooling with Confidence can help: Employing tried and tested Hypnotherapy Techniques to help you control feelings of anxiety, apprehension, and negative self-talk and physical tension; enabling you to remain relaxed, calm, confident and positive whilst leading, riding or schooling your horse/pony in any indoor or outdoor arena; making leading out, riding and schooling, the fun, productive time it should be, for you, and your horse/pony.

Roadwork with Confidence
Specifically designed to help overcome a lack of confidence, negative thoughts and/or feelings of fear, panic and anxiety, when riding out on roads, tracks and lanes.
Today’s roads are busier than ever, and it can be a nerve racking experience using them on horse back. Even if you just ride along one for a short distance to get to and from a safer location, the dread of this can spoil the ride ahead. Many riders have no alternative but to use the roads to exercise their horses during the winter months, or to help strengthen horse’s legs for the coming season, or you may be bringing a horse back into work following an illness, whatever the reason, avoiding using the roads could mean that your horse spends long periods of time stabled or out of work.
If you find that you are putting off riding because the roads, lanes or tracks have become “no go” areas; constantly worrying about meeting large vehicles or noisy motorbikes, paper bags on the roadside, dogs barking, or kids playing on skateboards etc, then this sewssion is for you. It will help you look at life on the road in a more rational, logical manner, helping you stay calm, relaxed and confident. Still being an observant rider, but not letting things get out of proportion. This calmer more relaxed frame of mind will help you, to help your horse. Incorporated into this session is a technique - a physical trigger - that you can use when riding out to reaffirm a positive state of mind and boost your self-confidence.

Jumping with Confidence
Specifically designed to help overcome a lack of confidence and/or feelings of fear, panic or apprehension when Jumping.
Perhaps you are new to jumping, or you have had a bad experience in the past. But Jumping is all about skill, timing, technique and a 'positive' attitude. If your confidence is low, and you are full of negative 'what-ifs', these assets can evaporate, and may leave you, and your horse in a potentially compromising situation. This can increase anxiety, and reduce confidence even more - creating a vicious circle of self-doubt, anxiety, fear, tension and low self-confidence.

Giving your horse or pony the best possible chance of success in the ring.
