NLP Approach to Confident Riding©

Being enthusiastic, with a deep love for all things equestrian is a wonderful feeling to have.  Horses have an almost mystical way of capturing the imagination and the sights, smells and sounds of the stable yard can be quite magical.

As strong as the love for horses might be some riders have more personal resources to succeed in their chosen area than others.  Whether you are a competitive rider or a pleasure rider, a professional or complete beginner, success and confidence begins in the mind and we can show you how. 

Horses feel everything you think, so your psychology is crucial to a successful relationship with your horse.  Your equestrian experience may lack confidence or motivation, maybe you have phobias and habits that you need to overcome when working around horses.  Perhaps you see difficulty in controlling your emotional state in highly pressurised situations, competition for example.

At Quest for Success Ltd, we offer an exciting, resonant and transformational programme, The NLP Approach to Confident Riding©, based on Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Time Line Therapy^TM Techniques and Hypnosis, blended to create bespoke interventions for each client. 

The NLP Approach to Confident Riding© Programme:

Each programme is tailored specifically to the needs of the individual.  The six programme sessions are conducted on a one to one basis, each lasting about an hour and a half.

Session 1 – You will meet with your NLP Coach who will talk to you about your problems, challenges and goals for the programme.  By listening to you, your coach will design the following five sessions to specifically address your needs and to enable you to reach your goals.  If meeting your horse and/or watching you ride would add value, then your coach will attend the venue at which you ride.  Your coach can also work in partnership with your riding instructor, subject to mutual agreement.  

Session 2 – During the second meeting, you will start working with your NLP Coach, on the ground, away from your horse.  We start the change work which will begin your journey of confidence and success.

Session 3 – Continuing your transformation with your NLP Coach.

Session 4 – Taking further steps towards confident, riding, full of self-belief.

Session 5 – Session 5 can either be a continuation of change work on the ground, or a convincer session, working with you and your horse, putting the changes you have made into practical use and learning how to use the techniques you have learned by yourself, as and when you need them.

Session 6 – The final, on the ground, meeting with your NLP Coach to cement in the wonderful changes you have made and set exciting goals for your future equestrian pursuits.
