Resourceful Rider

Hi Sue, I want to thank you for making available your Cd. I have been struggling with fears and lots of self-doubt. Since listening to the cd I have begun to enjoy my horse again and have noticed so many postive changes in my riding. Here is a picture of us actually going on a trail ride. It has been a very long time since I was able to head out on the trail with a smile on my face. Thank you so much. I grew up around horses all my life. My parents had a racehorse farm. I ran in to some confidence- blowing incidents a few years ago. And have been struggling with regaining since. I have had some very good instructors and some bad and extraordinary horses along the way. It has been a fight back into the saddle. I never felt like it was really the horses: it was an internal battle with the what ifs etc.. extreme fear and anxieties. It was all me and that in itself was very frustrating. Not being able to throw in the towel I kept on trying, riding when I could. I finally ordered your Cd and it has really helped alot. I think I was very ready to let go and get back to my place which was actually on my horse, and in the present. Mae Pitre and Unique (Ontario, Canada)

YOUR CD IS WONDERFUL!, I know the confidence and new subconscious habits I gained from your CD made all the difference in the world. I AM riding every step (like my instructors always told me too), I am maintaining balance and impulsion, and I AM reminding myself that it's mostly mind over matter, and it all shows in my proud, confident posture.

Stop Smoking

"Just a little note to confirm that between us I think 'We've cracked it'!!! It is now five weeks since I smoked my last cigarette! While it still needed a lot of will-power during the first few days, I am convinced that it was the hypnotherapy that this time made me think positively and gave me the determination to succeed. After being a 30-40 a day smoker for well over 30 years, I now find I 'fancy a fag' less and less as each day passes. And I can feel the benefit already. After trying all sorts of ways to give up in the past, from so-called 'Guaranteed Herbal Cures' to the Cold Turkey treatment and only managing to last a couple of days at the most, hypnotherapy and your help appear to have at last made a NON smoker of me! Even the wife can't believe it! She's being trying to get me to Give Up Smoking for nearly 30 years! Again, very many thanks"

Lose Weight

"I wish I had done this years ago. Hypnotherapy for my weight, but the time and money always went to my family leaving me with only the comfort of food and a weight problem. Your Hypnotherapy was my New Years' treat and the best money and time I have spent. Instead of my weight going up all the time however much I dieted, it is now going down. I have lost over a stone but the weight is only one side of this. I'm now more self-confident and eat to live, not live to eat, saving on my food bills, so really its money saved. I recommend this to anyone for it really works." Stella (Somerset)

I have been getting on rather well actually. I have used the disc quite a lot and just this last week have started riding a little bit again, nothing grand you understand, just getting on and doing a bit of walk and a very little bit of trot. I have got a lesson booked for tomorrow evening to 'brush up' a bit on my basic riding skills (or not!!) which will be a big help. I first got back on Jack last Monday (14th) and rode again on Sunday. When I went to get on him on Monday I was in a terrible state and really did not think I could do it but once I was on him I felt better. Sunday was much better as I did not have the terrors half so badly when it came to getting on and had a very nice 15-20 mins on him. I am keeping my rides very short at the moment to build myself back up again - I need to be able to walk the next day!! I know the disc has been of great help to me, and is a wonderful relaxation tool. I never seem to hear it more than about 15 or 20 mins through and always come to again at the same point. Once the disc is finished it takes me about 10 or 15 minutes to really get with it again and feel really deeply and blissfully relaxed. I think I will always continue to listen to it periodically even when my confidence is better as it is a great feeling afterwards. I have got a beautiful new, made to measure dressage saddle that helps with my security and position and is a joy to ride on so that helps too. I will be using the disc again this evening in preparation for my lesson tomorrow so keep your fingers crossed for me it goes well! Best wishes Nikki Blake (Kent)

"Over 12 months since treatment for my smoking addiction. You might like to know that it did the trick. Many thanks."

Prior to January 1, 2003, I would have considered myself to be an active, confident, and enthusiastic equestrian. I have ridden and shown horses my entire life. I grew up competing in field trials; owner of several World Champions and an avid trail rider navigating extreme terrain with my trusted mounts. Then, on January 1, 2003 something happened. A foolish accident. I had raised a young colt from birth and he and I shared quite a bond. My husband and I had been training this colt under saddle and I wanted to show him off to some friends. With no helmet (my first mistake), I climbed aboard to put him through his gaits, yet something startled him and he began to buck and run. I don't recall the rest of the events as I suffered a terrible fall, hitting my head, third degree concussion, and a hospital visit with loss of memory. It took me weeks to regain my physical strength and balance and quite frankly, the nerve to climb on board of any of my horses. With my foot in the stirrup and heart racing, I felt completely out of control and lost. Photo Courtesy of Gina Bilyeu Photography For months I made excuses that it was "too windy" or "too cold" "too rainy" "too hot" to ride. There was an excuse for every riding occasion that was greatly noticed by my family and friends. When I did ride, I would be overcome with anxiety attacks and put my most "steady" mount into a tense mood. I started thinking I had gone crazy. I started searching the internet for possible solutions to this debilitating pain I was feeling about my riding. Luckily, I came across Sue McIntyre's products. Everything she mentioned on her site was EXACTLY the way I felt inside. And, I felt like FINALLY I had found someone who could understand the pain I felt. The "What If" attitude that had consumed me! With hope in my heart, I purchased this program hiding it from my family! Within a matter of two weeks, I could feel my confidence start to build. Within months I could feel a relief from the tension. And, my family and friends noticed this "change to the good" in me as well, wondering what had brought about this difference in me. Today, I am back in the saddle. I am more particular about the horse's that I ride, and have made a conscious decision that my colt starting should be left to someone younger, but I no longer "anticipate" bad things to come my way. I feel a freedom and happiness again when my foot hits the stirrup and I can look at my husband with a big smile as we go off to ride! I am back competing again and trail riding enthusiastically. I still listen to Sue's CD. I believe wholeheartedly in this program and recognize it has benefited me greatly. Lisa Murray-Warmels - Ride Light Equestrians

Thank you for helping me to see who I am and what I can be. I couldn't have done it without you. You're the best!" Jo (Sussex)

Hi Sue I have been playing the CD every night and doing the swish technique. I couldn't wait to let you know that I have had a breakthrough this weekend....I got on Seamus twice this weekend and yesterday I managed to put him into canter! He threw his head up in the transition and although I froze initially and went to panic I managed to talk myself into putting my leg on and I got a few strides of canter. I know there is still a long way to go but this was such a breakthrough for me! Thank you so so much Jenny (Somerset)

Stop Smoking

"This is just a short note to thank you for helping me to give up smoking. It has now been 9 months since I last had a cigarette and I really don't miss it at all."

I had a good day. He was very well behaved and only had two stops, one at the ditch and one at the steps but was keen to jump it on second attempt. I actually thought the course was too small and would have liked to have jumped the next course up but decided not to push my luck. I did think he was very lethargic over the weekend though and have since had the vet doing blood tests as he has had a virus which apparently has been going around the yards. Once I have had the all clear from the vet I will be back out showjumping again. Can't wait. I've stopped worrying about jumping while I'm at work now as well. I just go home and get on with it. Definitely an improvement. Thank you. Jo (Wiltshire)

Stop Smoking

"My dear Susan B McIntyre Let me remind you of my case. I smoked for the sake of smoking so much so I could not pass a cigarette without smoking it….. I was afraid to face the affects of stopping and I half believed I was beyond help. I hoped that my one chance of giving up was Hypnotherapy. Well, it took two sessions and now its six weeks and I have NOT SMOKED!!!! THANK YOU-HOO! How can I put into writing how grateful I am to you for your help? OK, so I paid you for your help but it is worth every penny. Sincere thanks and best wishes"

I used the Cd on quite a regular basis during the first few months and felt I have made real progress especially in my approach to dressage........... I had a super cross-country schooling a couple of weeks ago and will use my CD before this weekend and the next cross-country. Margaret (Lancashire)

Stop Smoking

Having averaged some 20 cigarettes a day for the past 20 odd years, I was sceptical about your ability to help me "kick the habit"! I had tried, in the past to give up smoking so had experienced every withdrawal trick in the book. And then along came Sue! You certainly hit the spot and not even the odd stressful situation has made me weaken by reaching for a 'fag'. Now, after almost three months I proudly announce to my family and friends - ' I am a NON-SMOKER!' Thank you for your help and for making this usually difficult task so very, very easy.

I was just thinking I must get back in touch with you and thank you for the CD. I have already listened to it a few times and find it is very, very good. Every time I listen to it I awake feeling much more positive. Thank you. Steve (Gloucestershire)
