Riding should be enjoyable, not stressful. I’m an IEMT practitioner specialising in helping horse riders overcome nerves, anxiety, and the emotional impact of past riding experiences. Whether you’re a competitive rider, a leisure hacker, or recovering from a fall, IEMT sessions can help you ride with confidence again.
IEMT (Integral Eye Movement Technique) targets the emotional component of negative memories; the fear, self-doubt, or anxiety that stays with you after accidents, falls, or stressful riding experiences. Once these patterns are addressed, the changes can be remarkable: riders often feel calmer, lighter, and more in control in the saddle.
Book now to start enjoying your riding again
IEMT is effective for a wide range of rider concerns, including:
Fear of jumping or refusal at fences
Anxiety when hacking out (fear of traffic, spooking, or unpredictable situations)
Excessive pre-ride “what if” worries
Loss of confidence after a fall or accident
Competition nerves and performance anxiety
Feeling “not good enough” to ride
No issue is too big or too small — if it’s holding you back, IEMT can help you move forward.
If you’re a nervous rider, you’ve probably asked yourself this question more times than you can count:
“What if something goes wrong?”
These thoughts are especially common after a fall, a fright, or even just from months of anxious riding. You find yourself stuck in a loop of worst-case scenarios before every ride:
What if he refuses the jump and I fall?
What if I make a fool of myself in front of my instructor?
Running through these thoughts doesn’t make you safer. It just keeps you stuck, avoiding rides or white-knuckling through them without enjoyment.
This cycle is known as catastrophising, and it’s a common part of anxiety—especially following trauma or repeated stress.
IEMT (Integral Eye Movement Therapy) works by addressing the emotional patterns behind those “what if” thoughts. It helps your brain process stuck responses and allows space for calm, confidence, and clearer thinking.
No long story-telling, no reliving past events. Just a gentle, structured approach to changing how you feel about riding.
What if you could feel relaxed in the saddle again?
What if confidence came back more easily than you thought?
If this sounds like what you need, IEMT might be exactly the shift you’re looking for.
