Matt has spent over 25 years teaching,<br />
coaching, schooling, rehabilitating, backing<br />
and restarting horses. Over the years Matt<br />
has seen many of his clients face huge<br />
difficulties with Fear which has affected the<br />
understanding and communication between<br />
horse and rider.<br />
Fear is something that Matt can relate to,<br />
having broken his back in a fall a few years<br />
ago he too had to face the Fear ‘demons’.<br />
This led him to start training as a life coach<br />
where he found the 3 principles of life;<br />
which took him to a new level of<br />
understanding the human mind and how<br />
Fear worked. This understanding has<br />
enabled him to help so many people in a<br />
much more effective way; giving his clients<br />
the control over their Fear, rather than<br />
being reliant on the instructor being there to<br />
give them confidence.<br />
Fear is something so many of us suffer<br />
from. This can prevent us from doing the<br />
things we really love to do. It can stop us<br />
from enjoying our horses and can start to<br />
make a rider feel low and even contemplate<br />
giving up! It can even stop you from<br />
seeking help because we are Fearful of<br />
being judged. This is exactly why Matt has<br />
created Think-Feel-Ride which is a<br />
confidence programme, designed to put<br />
you back in control of your Fear and<br />
allowing you to develop the tools to<br />
build a stronger partnership and<br />
understanding with your horse. By<br />
putting you back in control of your<br />
Fear you are then able to push<br />
your Fear away and move forward.<br />
With a deeper understanding of<br />
our own mind and that of our<br />
horses; developing the way<br />
to connect the Thinking -<br />
Feeling - Riding together;<br />
creates a life long understanding<br />
that stays with you as you<br />
continue your journey.<br />
Matt's depth of understanding of the<br />
horses mind and their feelings has<br />
strengthened even more since working with<br />
and understanding his partners work;<br />
Richard Geldard, Animal Communicator<br />
and Medium. Richard’s work has helped<br />
Matt with his clients on many occasions.<br />
Matt's clients have also found it useful for<br />
Richard to do readings or visits with their<br />
horses whilst working through the Think-<br />
Feel-Ride programme with Matt.<br />
Matt and Richard’s passion is to help<br />
horses along with their carers, to<br />
understand each other and to find a clearer<br />
way to communicate; which will build a<br />
partnership that is based on trust and<br />
where Fear has no place.<br />
Matt & Richard are based in south<br />
Leicestershire/Northamptonshire border,<br />
you can visit their base with your horse or<br />
they can travel to you. Also available are<br />
clinics, workshops and short stay<br />
equestrian retreats held around the<br />
country. If you are unable to travel then<br />
there is the option of online help available<br />
to you. There really is an option for<br />
everyone, so please get in touch with Matt<br />
to arrange your consultation.<br />
