Overcoming Rider Fear
Peggy Macy Martin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and certified riding instructor who specializes in helping people overcome horseback riding fear and anxieties. Using a combination of EMDR and real-life supportive lessons on horseback, riders are able to gain confidence and skill mastery to enjoy security and partnership with their horse.
Individually designed programs allow you to:
- Relieve and resolve the origins of your fear response
- Practice specific skills using the power of your own mind
- Find yourself enjoying riding and looking forward with positive anticipation
- Get “yourself” back and be the rider you would like to be
Peggy will work with you to create your own personal program considering your needs, budget, and preferences. A variety of formats are offered:
- Individual or small groups (2 to 4 riders) meet in intensive blocks of time or in a series of sessions with your horse or mine
- Ongoing support by phone and/or email
- Consultation with your local resources by phone and/or email
- Helping your riding instructor incorporate specific emotional support techniques into your riding lessons
- Helping your EMDR Therapist with information regarding elements of horseback riding particular for your trauma therapy
