Your horse knows: Tension transmitted

Your horse is incredibly sensitive. They feel every bit of tension in your body.

When you’re tense your horse:
✔️Becomes tense
✔️Resists your aids
✔️Loses confidence
✔️Perfoms poorly

When you’re calm your horse:
✔️Relaxes
✔️Responds to your aids
✔️Gains confidence
✔️Performs beautifully

That’s why nervous system regulation is so important.

By calming your nervous system you calm your horse. It’s that simple.

Neurocentric training for riders: A different approach

Traditional riders training focuses on technique. Neurocentric training focuses on the nervous system

Traditional approach:
✔️Technique drills
✔️Strength and conditioning
✔️More riding hours

Neurocentric approach:
✔️Nervous system optimization
✔️Movement quality
✔️Proprioceptive training
✔️Confidence building

The result? Better riders. Better horse. Better performance.

If traditional training hasn’t worked it’s time to try something different.

✔️Poor decision making
✔️Reduced effectiveness
✔️Tension transmitted to your horse
✔️Performance issues

Confidence comes from nervous system regulation and movement quality.

That’s why building confidence is part of our approach.

Riders biomechanics: Understand your movement

Understanding your biomechanics is the first step to improving your riding.

Poor biomechanics create:
✔️Ineffective aids
✔️Tension and compensation
✔️Pain and injury
✔️Reduced performance
✔️Frustration

Improved biomechanics does the opposite.

That’s why biomechanical assessment is part of our approach.

Through video analysis and movement assessment we identify you biomechanical patterns and retrain them for better riding.

Hand position: Quiet hands through nervous system optimization

Quiet hands are the mark of a great rider. But they come from nervous system regulation not just technique.

Tense hands create:
✔️Tension transmitted to your horse
✔️Reduced communication
✔️Resistance from your horse
✔️Performance issues
✔️Frustration

Quiet hands come from a calm nervous system.

That’s why nervous system regulation is part of our approach.

By calming your nervous system through breathing, movement and training you develop the quiet hands that great riders have.

🐎Your Nervous System🐎

Your nervous system controls everything: pain, movement, sleep, digestion, mood, immunity.

If your nervous system is stuck in “threat mode, "nothing else works. Here’s how to improve it:

1️⃣Activate Your Vagus Nerve
•Slow, deep breathing (long exhales)
•Humming or singing
•Cold water on your face
•Gentle neck stretches

2️⃣Micr Intelligently
•Start slow, progress gradually, focus on quality. Stop before pain increases.

3️⃣Manage Stress
•Identify stressors, set boundaries, practice relaxation, spend time in nature.

4️⃣Prioritize Sleep
•Consistent schedule, dark room, no screens 1 hour before bed, limit caffeine after 2pm.

5️⃣Address Your Sensory System
•Eye tracking, balance drills, vestibular exercises, reduce sensory overload.

6️⃣Improve Nutrition
•Omega-3s, B vitamins, magnesium. Reduce inflammatory foods.

7️⃣Build Social Connection
•Loneliness keeps your nervous system in threat mode. Connection activates safety.

8️⃣Practice Consistency
•Small, daily actions beat occasional big efforts. Your nervous system changes through repetition.

**When your nervous system improves**
✔️Pain decreases
✔️Movement improves
✔️Sleep gets better
✔️Digestion normalizes
✔️Mood lifts
✔️Energy increases
✔️Immunity strengthens

The bottom line: Improving your nervous system isn’t one magic fix. It’s creating an environment that where your body feel safe enough to heal.

Start today. Takes 5 minutes. Do the 4-7-8 breathing techniques. Notice how your body feels.

That’s nervous system improvement in action.

Rider symmetry: Balance left & right

Asymmetry is common in riders. You likely have a stronger side, a tighter hip or a weaker leg.

Asymmetry creates:
✔️Uneven weight distribution
✔️Tension in your horse
✔️Poor performance
✔️Increased injury risk
✔️Reduced effectiveness

Improved symmetry does the opposite.

That’s why movement assessment and retraining are crucial.

Through neurocentric movement training we identify and correct asymmetries making you a more balanced, effective rider.
