Does anyone know of patient and understanding instructor experienced in helping a rider that has utterly lost confidence? I would be a challenge but would so love to conquer my demons and ride my lovely mare. Again.
Wickford, Essex. Near Chelmsford
Thank you - I do know Paul is great and he helps a friend of mine with her horse, but I really would prefer a woman.Paul cornish is great
Thank you - can I message you on Facebook or would you prefer another way?I’m an instructor and not far from you feel free to msg if you like x
I wish I could help, but am far far away and also trying to leave the industry. However, I wanted to comment to say there is light at the end of the tunnel! My main bread and butter (and also tea and cake and friendships!) for years were mostly female clients who had lost confidence. I helped people get back on horses they hadn't sat on in YEARS, though more commonly months. Next weekend, I'm teaching a 6-person "fun" Cross Country clinic for former clients who were afraid to walk a circle around their own school. Along the way, we've cried together, laughed together, eaten SO MUCH CAKE! There are instructors out there who thrive on supporting that relationship and really take delight in seeing things come right. One thing I would say, from experience, is that in the end the confidence coaching became my speciality and professional development focussed on that side of things at the expense, perhaps, of other skills. This meant I ALWAYS Encouraged my clients to see other instructors, attend clinics (sometimes they paid me to be there too!) and progress beyond where I personally could take them. The greatest pleasure for me is when a client no longer "needs" me. So I guess what I'm saying is that the personal you're looking for may be psychology -minded, coaching experienced, but maybe not the one who will ultimately "produce" you.
You could try Amanda Kirkland Page.
Her Facebook page is The Confident Horse Rider. She does clinics of 1-3 days.
She is really good, cannot recommend her enough.

Hi Liz
Is your name the same on Facebook? There is a msg option on this forum if you want to exchange contact details that way, have a look for the envelope at the top right of your page x
