EFT for Riders

So, there you are, riding your favourite pony at the riding school, 11 years old, happily trotting about without a care in the world....Suddenly, out of the blue, the instructor shouts 'WHAT ARE DOING WITH YOUR HANDS'. Forcibly removed from the fantasy of galloping YOUR pony across miles of open countryside, united as a team for ever, you suddenly look at your teacher, at your hands, confusion uppermost in your mind.....

Aged 20, trying really hard to get your first horse through his first dressage test, needing to get him on the bit NOW, worried that your contact is too tight, or maybe not tight enough....

Aged 30 with a promising young event horse, destined for greatness if only you could be sure the bit was correct for him, and that he would accept the contact better..

Aged 40, happy hacker, sad that your competitive career is over due to that nasty accident when your horse came over backwards on you after you inadvertently lost your balance whilst daydreaming and unsettled your horse.......

Sounds obvious when put this way, doesn't it? Perhaps this is a simplified example, but all our perceptions and beliefs are a conglomeration of the experiences we have had throughout our life up to the present moment. EFT allows a rider to explore past experiences, good and bad, and clear any limiting beliefs, traumatic incidents or unhelpful perceptions! EFT is the ONLY effective way I have found to clear these past blocks.

Your horse has talent, bags of talent. You've worked so hard, both of you, to perfect the basics and prove yourselves.

However, at competitions, where you would love to shine, everything goes wrong. From the moment you set off in the wagon, the tension builds, and no matter how hard you try, the work you do at home seems unachievable.

EFT is the most effective sports performance tool currently available and is helping sports people in several disciplines (notably Lewis Hamilton - Formula One Driver) to perfect their competition skills. With the ability to 'reframe' your perceptions, EFT has to be the most valuable skill for the professional or competitive rider enabling you to show the best work you can both do.

Your instructor says you need more feel, you need to be able to sense when to give an aid, when to hold, when to allow - but she doesn't seem to be able to teach you how to DO it....she says you need more leg, more hand, more feel, more......something?

Your horse needs to be more forward, more accepting, more submissive, more straight, more through....but she doesn't seem to be able to tell you how to achieve that, despite being able to get on your horse and produce the work she wants.

We have two problems here - 1) your lack of understanding. EFT ( and the skills acquired by right brain riding) can be a way through the fog of confusion, meaning that you can come to the lesson feeling you can understand and achieve!

2) Your Instructor ALSO needs EFT, too help her acquire the skills to communicate her talent, to help her frustration and make her a better instructor!

Your pony naps. He naps for England, if there was a nappy sport in the Olympics, you pony would win the gold medal. No one can hack your pony out on its own, or even make him take the lead when in a group. No one can give you any advice except take a big stick, and whack him with it, yet you (against your better judgement) have tried this, and it doesn't work.....

Wouldn't it be be wonderful if you could work out WHAT frightened your pony, WHAT he needs to feel braver about , HOW you need to behave to make him feel like he could be brave enough....

EFT can get to the bottom of these problems and also give your pony an alternative scenario to follow, enabling him to accept the leadership of a calm, assertive rider with no excessive fears or frustrations.
