ALM Dressage

Having a degree in Psychology and a Diploma in Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), I have the necessary skills and experience to ensure you perform to your maximum ability, overcome confidence issues, resolve competition nerves, work through problems and learn to get the most out of your horse and your riding.

NLP can help riders in a number of ways; e.g.

1. Modelling - Observing body positioning, thought patterns and behaviour of experts and using this as a blue print for our desired behaviour.

2. Helps us to understand how our own thinking and behaviour affects our experience. Through this awareness we can change our behaviour.

3. Identifies common success strategies.

If you do what you have always done, you will get what you have always got.

• What we repeat we reinforce
• What we allow our horse to do, we allow him to learn
• There is no failure only feedback
• Modelling leads to excellence
• If it isn't working, do something different.
