A recent review article (Lazzarelli et al., 2024) found that improving interoceptive awareness - your ability to notice signals like breath, heart rate, and muscle tension - makes people better at:

😫regulating stress
😨lowering anxiety
☺️building resilience

🐎 For riders, this is HUGE.

If you can sense tension creeping into your shoulders or notice your breathing get shallow, you can pause and soften before it spills over into your seat, hands, or legs.

⚡️Without that awareness?

Your tension goes straight to your horse. 🐴

And since horses are prey animals, they pick up on even the tiniest physiological shifts and often respond defensively or with confusion.

Interoception is the bridge between your nervous system and your horse’s trust.

The calmer and more aware you are, the safer and more connected your horse feels.

If you want to strengthen that connection, start with these three simple practices:

1️⃣notice your breath
2️⃣scan your body for tightness
3️⃣Release tension before you ride.

Your horse will thank you. ♥️

If you want more info on how you can do this with simple equestrian-focused daily practices, drop a 🐴 in the comments!

Most riders think the answer to their stiff hips, tight shoulders, or crooked posture is more workouts, more core work, or more saddle time.

But the real reason you feel stuck in your riding isn’t weakness.

It’s that your body is storing stress and trauma.

The tension you haven’t released is showing up every time you ride.

And your horse feels it.

When you learn to reset your nervous system and release stored tension, everything changes.

Your seat softens, your balance steadies, and the connection with your horse deepens.

After years of hearing, my trainers tell me to do the same things with my body...

Shoulders back.
Stop gripping with your knees.
Relax through your seat.
Heels down.

Despite spending hours in the gym each week, taking extra lessons, and watching all the training videos online, I just couldn't seem to fix all my riding problems.

That’s why I created The Resilient Rider Method. My neuroscience-backed wellness system is designed specifically for equestrians.

In just 10–20 minutes a day, you’ll process stress, release tightness, and ride with ease and harmony.

❌ No endless stretching.
❌ No punishing workouts.

✅ Just simple, powerful, rider-specific practices you can do at home.

If you’re ready to rkde with calm confidence and give your horse the best version of you, comment READY below, and get started right now. 🐴💫

Most riders think tight hips, bouncing in the saddle, or crooked posture means they need to strengthen their core or stretch more.

But here’s the truth:

Your body is holding onto stress and trauma.

And this is why you feel stiff and weak.

Stress & trauma are stored in your body, which means the tension you haven’t yet processed is directly impacting your seat, your balance, and even how connected you feel with your horse.

This is exactly why I created The Resilient Rider Method.

My neuroscience backed mind-body wellness system designed specifically for equestrians.

In just 10-20 minutes a day, you’ll learn how to process stored tension in your body, release tightness, reset your nervous system, and finally ride with softness and ease.

❌️No crazy workouts.
❌️No hours of stretching.

✅️Just highly effective, rider-specific practices you can do from home.

So if you’re ready to soften your seat, release what your body has been holding, and ride in true harmony with your horse - this is for you.

💫 Comment READY below and join me inside The Resilient Rider today.

Because your horse deserves the very best version of you. 🐴
