WANT TO FEEL YOUR BEST WHEN RIDING?

We have a unique package for riders to help not only with confidence issues and riding performance, but also weight loss.  With over 25 years’ experience with working alongside riders, one common theme apart from lack of confidence, is an issue of weight and not feeling your best when riding.  Many riders are very happy with how they are, their fitness and their health.  However, if you are struggling, we do specialise in this area for riders. 

Healthy, quick weight loss is achievable!  Contact me to find out more.

What others say about us

Kate Bridgewater

I had some hang ups about my riding. I had been working for over two years trying to get over my issues without much success. Amanda and I had a session over the phone and she gave me homework to do. Well! Within ten minutes of my first ever lesson with Amanda, I had happily cantered round the school on both reins!!!! This was a massive step for me (silly to others, but it was my hang up). Amanda said that it would be my favourite gait, and she is correct.
Amanda is a very clever lady, who helps you to feel good about yourself, who is positive and helps you to think differently. I would 100% recommend her help if you lack confidence and want to get back to riding “the way we used too”. Thank you Amanda x x x

Confidence Workshop:  I’ve found the workshop to be extremely beneficial. Being given the tools I need to remain in a positive mindset has set me up for future challenges that I can now embrace. The hypnotherapy was very relaxing and a great way to start off the correct mindset. Thank you very much!

Confidence Workshop:  I thoroughly enjoyed today’s workshop.  It was a lot of information to take in, but I am going to take the methods away today and keep testing them out.  I have come away from the workshop feeling calmer and content and I am hoping the exercises prove effective in my future.  Thank you very much.

Confidence Booster Workshop: Really enjoyed the hypnosis having never done it before and I can see how it will come in useful in keeping me positive.  Loved the technique with using cartoons and that will definitely help me put my demons to rest!
