Anyone been to a confidence clinic ???

Yes we had a small one at our yard a few weeks ago with Jo Cooper after having a very quick session with her at a seminar. It was fab and all 5 of us who attended got loads out of it. I went from being petrified to hack my mare out after a nasty accident last July to now hacking out fairly confidently and happily at least once a week for an hour a time and my friend who was terrified of cantering 20 metre circles is now doing them without feeling sick! Can highly recommend Jo and she usually works through phone consultations :)
 
Sounds like what i'm looking for but they all seem to be so far away ,i'm looking for one in Northants area any contacts ?
 
I have a card somewhere but if you google her name her website comes up. She is based in Leicester. If you can't find it let me know and I'll dig out the card and PM you.
 
What a shame loljo we are in northants and I posted a few days before the event to see if anyone was interested as we had a space left. Give Jo a call though I'm sure she'll be able to help.
 
About 4 years ago I did a two-day course with Caroline Putus (lifelong horsewoman and NLP practitioner. She also writes for horse magazines in the subject of confidence.) Her website is www.enjoyriding.com

I had totally lost my nerve after a bad fall. I couldn't hack at all and I would sit in the middle of the school on the quietest of horses, crying with nerves!

After the clinic, and one follow-up one-to-one session with Caroline, I had learnt tools and techniques that have been helping me ever since. It literally transformed me as a rider!

Her clinics are usually based in Suffolk but she does travel and also does phone consultations.
 
Yes i was interested in her course but it was so expensive it worked out about £500 as i would also have to arrange a b/b or hotel and travel.
Phone consultation wouldn't really help need practical help really.
So i will keep looking.
 
Contact Jo - if you can get a small group together she might be able to do a session like she did for us especially as you are fairly local. She comes on here sometimes too!
