The ADD Equestrian

11/21/2025

ADHD and dyslexia show up in riding way more than people realize — and if remembering courses or processing instructions feels tough, you’re not alone. 🐎💛

Neurodivergent riders often shine with visuals, repetition, and clear communication. That’s not “extra” — it’s smart learning.

And the strengths? Creativity, intuition, feel, and a deep connection with your horse. 🤍

Let’s keep talking about learning differences in the barn. Every brain learns differently — and that’s something to embrace. 💫

Dyslexia and ADHD often show up together—more than most people realize. I’ve seen it again and again in the equestrian world, and honestly, it makes sense.

Do you know all the reasons why horse shows are dangerous?

Here is one you might not expect. There are irresistible puppies up for adoption.

This sweet litter was found in the Ocala Forest in a cardboard box. Thanks to VOCAL, they are safe, loved, and looking for their new families.

If you are showing at WEC this weekend, consider this your gentle reminder that you might leave with more than just ribbons.

Today, we pause to honor the strength, courage, and resilience of those who have served.

At The A.D.D. Equestrian, we recognize that healing—like horsemanship—takes patience, trust, and connection. 💚🐴

To all veterans, thank you for your service and sacrifice. May the peace found in the barn, in the saddle, and within ourselves remind us of the power of calm after the storm.

Showing up here is a commitment I am continuing to lean into. I am a psychologist first, not a marketer, and I care deeply about substance, depth, and meaningful change.

I also know that riders, parents, and trainers deserve to understand what becomes possible when we move beyond surface level “mindset hacks” and begin truly supporting the whole rider. That means the brain, the nervous system, learning and development, emotions, confidence, communication, and the unique pressures of this sport.

This year I have watched my ADD Equestrian riders experience calmer rounds, clearer thinking, and more confident choices in the ring. I have felt the shift in my own riding too. It continues to reinforce what my decades of neuropsychology and psychotherapy training have taught me again and again: when you support the person in the tack, the riding transforms too.

There are many programs in the equestrian world and many serve an important role. What I offer goes deeper. It is the work behind the ribbons, the resilience behind the moments that require a reset, and the quiet clarity that steadies your hands and softens your horse’s expression.

So here I am. Showing up more consistently. Sharing what works. Making sure riders know that there is thoughtful, evidence-based, horse-informed support available right here at the shows.

I am in Ocala Thursday through Sunday and available virtually and by phone on other days. If you or your rider is ready for support that understands both the mind and the sport, I am here. 💙🐴
