Hacking with Confidence
This updated and revised CD includes background music at specific and relevant intervals, and the therapeutic section has been extended to encompass a broader spectrum of issues and concerns.
Hacking out should be a pleasure, but sometimes, as a result of a bad experience like 'spooking' and 'shying' (especially when in traffic)or if your horse stumbles or slips, or if for some other reason you just don't seem to be as confident as you once were, you can become so nervous about riding, that you will only hack out in company, or for short periods, or worst still, you avoid hacking out altogether.
How Hacking with Confidence can help:
Employing Hypnotherapy Techniques to help you control feelings of panic, anxiety, fear, and tension; enabling you and your horse to remain relaxed, calm, and confident, when you both need it most.
Dressage with confidence
Reproducing the supple, responsive, energetic performance you know you can achieve at home, can often elude you when it comes to entering the arena at 'A'. Dressage makes great demands on the rider to stay calm, relaxed, and focused whilst concentrating on sometimes complex patterns, movements and changes of pace; so much so that even taking a breath gets forgotten! How Dressage with Confidence can help: Employing Hypnotherapy Techniques to help you control feelings of panic, anxiety and tension. Enabling you to remain relaxed and calm, yet alert and in control when riding your tests, thus allowing your horse to relax, move freely and engage.
How Dressage with Confidence Can Help:
Employing Hypnotherapy Techniques, post hypnotic anchor words, and positive suggestions to help you control feelings of anxiety, and the loss of memory this anxiety can cause, and to control the feelings of tension that cause the body to stiffen; enabling you to focus better on the test itself, and the quality of the movements required, whilst remaining relaxed, calm, confident and positive; giving your horse or pony the best possible chance to perform to his or her optimum ability.
Roadwork with confidence
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 CD 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 CD 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.

Employing Hypnotherapy Techniques, and a Physical Trigger, to help you control feelings of anxiety, fear, worry, and negative self-talk; enabling you to ride out on roads, tracks, and lanes with a more confident, positive frame of mind, feeling calm and relaxed.
Jumping with confidence
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.
How Jumping with Confidence can help:
Employing Hypnotherapy Techniques to help you control feelings of panic, anxiety, apprehension, fear, and tension; enabling you to focus on the course ahead, whilst remaining relaxed, calm, confident and positive. Giving your horse the best possible chance of success.
Cross country with Confidence
Whether you compete at affiliated level or just for fun at local level, approaching a solidly constructed jump, in less than perfect ground conditions can be a scary prospect. Perhaps you have just moved up from one level to another, and for the first time you are jumping obstacles you have not seen before, or you are already at quite a high standard and something has happened to shake your confidence, either way, this CD will help you relax and stay calm as you approach, and jump various obstacle that you may find on a cross country course.

Showing with Confidence
Perhaps this is a new horse/pony you are showing, or you are upgrading from local level to county level, or you have been out of the showing circuit for some time, whatever the reason for your nervousness, tension or lack of confidence, this CD will help you remain relaxed, calm, and in control of your thoughts, feelings and behaviour during any ridden showing class.
The only way to get the best from your horse or pony during a showing class is for you to remain calm, relaxed and focused. Even when the ground is poor and there are others riding in close proximity, you need to able to stay calm and focused, so that you can produce a forward moving, fluid, controlled show-routine, that catches the judges eye.
