established 2004"Welcome and prepare to change your thinking about those issues that have kept you from optimal performance with your horse."
... help for all riders and instructors:
hunter, jumper, dressage, western, saddleseat, polo
Improve your showing or teaching performance !
There are some simple techniques that have been developed to help you overcome riding problems of both a physical and emotional origin.
There is no need to change instructors or trainers.
A few minutes a day spent before and after riding is all that is needed to improve your skills as a rider, instructor, coach or trainer.
The techniques neutralize negative emotions which block the riders potential to succeed as well as release tension in the joints to improve overall seat suppleness and balance.

Helping riders and instructors find their optimum physical and mental balance to improve their performance.
All consultations are 100% confidential.
I use the free voip phone service SKYPE for domestic and international calls.
If after your consultation you would like help in resolving an issue:
_ the charge is $75.00 per session (up to an hour).
Usually an issue is resolved in 1 session but those with many aspects to an issue may benefit from more than one. Generally speaking once I teach you the technique you can self apply it to any remaining or future issues.
Who is this for ?
Just about everyone can improve, from beginners with basic fears or equitation problems, to advanced riders trying to add more points to their scores. If you are a teacher, trainer or coach you will want to learn these skills to enhance your own abilities to be effective even with those students that have learning disabilities.
What are some specific issues a rider or instructor could resolve ?
Anxiety and fear can be big issues relating to horseback riding.
Often the canter, the canter transitions, showing, trailering, jumping, dealing with stablemates, dealing with spouses and significant others, dealing with students and parents, along with general frustrations about learning the more difficult riding skills for competition are issues that can be resolved.
The technique was developed by Gary Craig, it is called EFT "Emotional Freedom Techniques" and can resolve anxiety, fear and phobias. It is a form of acupressure on acupuncture meridians that is self applied by tapping on the meridian.
I teach this technique and have found it to be remarkable in eliminating many problems almost instantly.
...No drugs or equipment involved.
...Easily learned by anyone.
...Can be self applied.
