Enjoy Riding Options
Are you demoralised, depressed and doubting you'll ever find a way out of your riding problems? Are you spending hundreds - often thousands - of pounds a year on a beloved horse you fear riding? Enjoy Riding can help you break that horrible vicious circle. Most horses respond very positively to the change in their riders, so imagine how you could help your horse to enjoy life more, too.
Learn really effective and practical self-help confidence skills that you can apply to any problem area of riding: hacking, handling, jumping, competitions - and to any other area of your life, too. No particular experience is needed to get benefit - but you must be willing to try new and unfamiliar ways of changing your habitual thought patterns and behaviour. This can be challenging to start with and practice makes perfect. In this, as with everything worth having, you get out what you put in.
Neuro-Linguistic Programming
NLP techniques can help you to discover and utilise the resources you need to overcome problems. Hypnosis and visualisation are potent ways to harness the power of your mind to establish and maintain a healthier balance in your life. The Enjoy Riding Programme can teach you how to do this for yourself. This is a wonderful opportunity to relax and let your subconscious mind help you to reach solutions to the stresses and strains of life. With NLP you can gain resources to use in any area of your life - not just the equestrian activities!
Positive Stress Management
Practical and positive stress management and problem-solving techniques can be learned and can make so much difference to how you handle difficult situations.
Bach Flower Remedies
These gently acting remedies are prepared from flowers, plants and other natural resources found around the Oxfordshire home of the late Dr Bach. They work on homoeopathic principles and ca very effectively improve your emotional state. Shock, fear, lack of motivation, confidence or concentration - all these and more can be helped by Bach Flower Remedies.
Homoeopathy
Homoeopathy is a deep acting treatment using very dilute natural substances. The medicine is taken in pure water over a period of a few days, stimulating your body's own healing ability and re-establishing harmony and balance. Physical and emotional problems, whether acute or long-standing, can respond to homoeopathic treatment.
Healing
Caroline has completed the National Federation of Spiritual Healers Foundation course. This has involved a lot of new ideas and self development and is proving to be an exciting and challenging path of discovery. Caroline is enjoying using healing to help people and animals. Group bookings for horse healing sessions (a bit like the "back man"!) can be organised for your yard.
One to one private consultations are a great way to get to the heart of your particular problems. These can be arranged at your location so that Caroline can help you with your confidence while you ride your own horse.
Classroom-based group workshops are held at Caroline's lovely log cabin clinic on the Suffolk coast, or at your location and there are one and two day clinics with riding in Suffolk or at your location. Group clinics and workshops are a great way to end those feelings of isolation. You'll meet lots of like-minded riders, make new friends and find support. Start moving forward right now!
