Reset and Ride

Does This Sound Familiar?

Do you:

tense up the moment someone mentions a hack when it's windy?
freeze at a fence you used to fly over without a second thought?
feel your heart race as you tack up before a competition?
find yourself making excuses not to ride at all, even though you miss it every single day you don't?

Maybe there was one moment — a fall, a bolt, a spook — that changed everything. Or maybe it's crept up slowly, with no single moment you can point to. Either way, your body has been bracing for something to go wrong, long after your mind has tried to move on. You don't need to know exactly what's holding you back, or why. You just need a way through it — and that's exactly what Reset and Ride is here for.

Hi, I'm Sally (pictured here with the awesome Snoopy)

I am an Advanced EFT practitioner and trauma specialist. I've worked with clients on a whole host of isues, from grief, loss, redundancy, ADHD diagnosis to anxiety and depression. Now I have turned those same skills towards something I love more than anything else in the world - riding!!

After a lifetime of riding fun, but one too many falls, I completely lost my nerve and gave it all up. However after learning what had been going on with my nervous system and using EFT (tapping) to reset it, I found my way back to the saddle.

"Reset and Ride" is here to help you do the same.

How can I help you?

Testimonials

"From struggling with 40cm to smiling around 70cm worry free"

"I met Sally at an equestrian camp. At the time, I thought I had myself on track, but underneath I was feeling a little vulnerable, insecure, and lacking confidence, both in my riding and in other areas of my life. Sally took the time, entirely out of her own kindness and generosity, to sit with me and introduce me to Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), also known as tapping.

Sally didn't just explain the technique, she took the time to guide me through it, support me, and help me understand how I could use it whenever I needed it. That investment in me has had a truly life changing impact. What started as help with my riding confidence has become a tool I use in life. Whether it's riding, work, everyday challenges, personal situations, or pushing myself outside my comfort zone, Tapping has become something I rely on regularly.

So many people have noticed the difference in my riding, particularly jumping. I've gone from struggling with a 40cm course to smiling round a 60/70cm worry free! Crazy! Friends and family often ask how I've suddenly become so more confident with my riding, and the honest answer is that it comes down to Sally and the technique she shared with me. It has given me tools that I use every day and has genuinely life changing. I cannot thank Sally enough". Mel and Bryn 🐴

My story

I had my first pony at four years old, and I didn't stop riding until I was forty-six. In that time, I had a lifetime's worth of thrills — and probably too many spills. Eventually the falls caught up with me. I became too frightened to ride anywhere except an arena, the joy drained out of it, and life circumstances gave me the final push to give it up altogether.

But I missed it more than I expected. Earlier this year at the grand old age of 52, I answered an advert to help ride a lovely, sensible cob — and decided to go for it. I was still nervous, freezing at the smallest issue, and progress was slow.

Then something happened that would have made most people hang up their hat for good. The horse took off with me, I lost my reins, and we were heading straight for a wire fence. I had to bail out. I hit my head and lost my memory for a few hours.

While my memory slowly came back during three hours in A&E, I started tapping — and it stopped a full-blown panic attack in its tracks. But over the following days, the incident kept replaying in my mind. Every quiet moment, I was back there, convinced that this time I'd stop before the fence. I recognised the pattern — it was the same as the PTSD symptoms tapping had already helped me overcome once before.

So I worked on it. The flashbacks stopped. Then I realised I could use the same approach on the other big falls I'd carried for years. It was extraordinary — my nervous system reset, and my riding changed completely. Not long after, I was offered the chance to ride a friend's event horse. I haven't looked back since - we are having the time of our lives.

What top performers aren't telling you

Tapping has quietly become one of sport's best-kept secrets. While a handful of athletes have been spotted using it openly — Olympic sprinters tapping before their races, for instance — many more are reported to use it privately, without ever making it public. In a world where any perceived "weakness" can be picked apart by competitors or the press, it's not hard to see why so many keep it close to their chest.

But the trend is growing. As more athletes, performers, and high-pressure professionals quietly turn to tapping to manage nerves, sharpen focus, and recover from setbacks, it's becoming clear this isn't a fad — it's a genuinely effective tool that works with the body, not just the mind. You don't have to be an Olympian to benefit from what they're using behind closed doors.
