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 />
