Whether you're a competitive rider, horse owner, trainer, like horse riding or simply an equestrian enthusiast, this eft tapping technique can help you and your horse overcome challenges and thrive.

1. Performance Anxiety

Many riders experience nervousness before competitions, fear of failure, or tension in high-pressure situations. Horses, too, can pick up on this stress, affecting their responsiveness and behaviour, many riders would not think twice about providing their horse therapy for anxiety but often forget themselves.   EFT tapping helps release anxiety, regain focus, and approach horse riding with confidence.   Horses benefit from calming energy, leading to smoother communication and improved performance.

2. Trauma Recovery

Past horse riding accidents, falls, or negative experiences can create deep-seated fears in both riders and horses. These emotional blocks can hinder progress and trust.   EFT tapping allows riders to process and release trauma, helping them regain trust in themselves and their horse.   

3. Trust & Connection Issues

Building a strong bond with a horse requires mutual trust and understanding. However, past experiences, inconsistent training, or emotional barriers can create resistance. EFT tapping fosters emotional clarity, allowing riders to approach training with patience and empathy. Horses respond positively to gentle tapping, reinforcing a sense of safety and connection.

4. Fear of Falling or Injury

Many riders struggle with fear of falling, getting hurt, or losing control, which can limit their ability to ride confidently. EFT tapping helps reframe fears, replacing them with self-assurance and calm decision-making. Horses sense this shift, leading to more harmonious movement and cooperation.
