Fear-free Riding
How does that appeal? Fear-free riding!
Fear is completely normal, natural, harmless and sometimes important for survival. Every living creature has its own natural protective mechanisms. This also applies with regard to human beings. One of these protective mechanisms is fear. Every human being has his own feelings of fear; they are a part of him, just like his finger prints. The "fear reaction" goes back to the very early days of our development history. At that time it was necessary to react extremely quickly whenever there was the threat of danger or attack, either by fleeing or by launching an attack. Sometimes such reactions are still necessary today.
In the context of sport, however, fear can lose its normal protective function and become a prime enemy. When a competitor has a blockage at the decisive moment or commits an inexplicable blunder, the cause is very often fear-related. Unfortunately far too many riders simply accept fear as an unavoidable factor within the scope of sporting experience. How do you react when you are in the process of winning but then allow fear to deprive you of that attractive result - and then you have to simply stand by and watch passively as the prize is presented to a competitor? Do you simply shrug your shoulders and hope that it will never happen again, or do you decide to undertake some measures to combat it?
Fear can have many causes – and sometimes we cannot even understand them ourselves – but we feel its presence and are numbed in our thoughts and actions. Horses, as animals of flight, are very sensitive with regard to this subject and react accordingly to us and our fear.
In this seminar I would like to help you to work on this blockage between you and your horse. Together we want to try to dissipate the blockage, to create a new sense of trust between you and your horse.
Give yourselves the opportunity to establish a relationship of trust. Have confidence in yourself and in your horse.
Aims:
- Relaxed riding with a lot more pleasure and fun
- Faster learning and greater progress with your riding
- Act in a self-determined way because fear represents a possibility for self-determination
- Consider fear as a friend who can tell you a lot about yourself
- Ability to act
- Affectionate dealings with oneself

The courses offered here are intended to provide you with fundamental and specific methods of procedure in the application of fear-control techniques and methods e.g. in connection with tapping on acupressure points and neuro linguistic programming (NLP). In this workshop you will receive sufficient opportunity to work on your personal problems in relation to these symptoms and you will also have a chance to ask questions and practice these methods in small groups.
Even without a horse, you will benefit from this workshop. Immediately after the workshop you will also have a chance to put what you have learned into practice with Maria Emmerling-Koslowsky.
