Hypnotherapy for Horse Riders

Hypnotherapy for horse riders can help you to overcome riding anxiety, increase confidence and rediscover your love of riding.

I’ve helped many riders over the years to overcome issues around riding so they can feel calm and confident in the saddle. Some have had a fall and then worry about a repeat, especially if they were hurt when they fell. It may be that someone has a fear around going faster or galloping or there was a time when your horse got spooked and you felt powerless until they calmed down again. For others, their general tendency for worry and anxiety starts to spill into their relationship with their horse. And there are those who have struggled with performance anxiety around competing that stops them riding to their best.

You already know that your horse can pick up on your anxiety, doubt and tension. You stop feeling like you are the one in charge and in control. It all adds to the worry and overthinking as you find yourself making excuses not to ride and spending less and less time in the saddle.

That connection between rider and your horse becomes clouded by fear, anxiety and a lack of confidence. You might feel nervous every time you mount up, worry about falling or find yourself overthinking every movement. Everything around riding becomes flavoured with unhappiness and joylessness.

Whether something specific has happened when riding, or however anxiety and doubt have crept in, it is possible to interrupt the unwanted thoughts and feelings so that you feel calm, confident and in control when riding. You very much can get the fun, enjoyment and love back into your horse riding.

Hypnotherapy for horse riders can help you to take back control over your thoughts, feelings, actions and reactions. You can reconnect to your horse and your riding. You can reignite the inner confidence, trust and calm that helps makes riding enjoyable and rewarding for you again.

Horse Riding Hypnotherapy

There can be so many challenges and obstacles that get in the way of you riding with calmness, confidence and enjoyment. Whether or not you compete, you can feel good as you ride in a way that pleases you. You already know your horse picks up when you feel anxious or are filled with doubt. So by taking back control over your thoughts and feelings, your relationship with your horse improves too.

Working in the horse riding and racing town of Newmarket, and in Ely where there are many stables, I have been able to help many riders to rediscover their love for riding.

Hypnotherapy can help you to strengthen your inner confidence by replacing negative thought patterns with positive thoughts and beliefs about your riding capability and resilience. You can draw upon your experience, skill and composure to provide reassurance to your horse.

Fears around falling, getting hurt, your horse misbehaving or about losing control can massively impact upon your riding. Anxiety about riding a particular horse, route or speed, alongside any competition anxiety, can be tackled. You can learn how to replace that fear and anxiety with calmness, confidence and focus. You can manage stress and maintain your composure so that you enjoy your riding and so you can ride well.

Successful riding is not just about your riding skill. It is also greatly influenced by your thoughts and feelings before you ride and when with your horse. Your emotions and mental state directly influence how your horse responds. The more calm, confident and composed you are, the more positive your relationship with your horse and the more the two of you work well together. It’s an all around winning combination.

I’ve helped many riders with issues around their riding. Through their sessions they went on to achieve significant positive improvements in their confidence, a reduction in nerves and anxiety and an overall more enjoyable and fulfilling experience of riding.

Hypnotherapy can help you to overcome negative thoughts, feelings and behaviours so that you can enjoy riding with confidence again. You can address any challenges related to riding confidence, anxiety and performance. Working together, we can help you to make positive changes in behaviours, thoughts and emotions. You can, once again, ride with calmness and confidence while feeling in control.

To your health and happiness,
