If you are starting the 2026 season feeling nervous, inconsistent, or frustrated with your riding, you are not alone.

Most riders think they just need more confidence. If only we could click our heels 👠 3X and be that confident rider!

It may take a bit more than 3 heel clicks but you can be the confident rider you yearn to be. Just know that it often takes a little support that goes deeper than mindset hacks.

If you freeze when you don’t see a distance, pull to the jump, lose focus mid course, or feel pressure that shuts your body down, these are patterns I help riders change every day.

I have openings for new clients this month!
If you want calmer rounds, clearer focus, and confidence that lasts, message me to schedule your first session.”

Ever been told to “just relax” or “stop overthinking” in the saddle?

If you have an ADD brain, you already know it doesn’t work like that.
Your mind isn’t being dramatic. It’s being busy, fast, creative, and trying to help you survive the moment.

And no amount of “just relax” is going to flip that switch.
So what’s an adult ammy supposed to do?
Start by knowing this: nothing is wrong with you.
A busy mind doesn’t settle because someone tells it to. It settles when it feels understood, supported, and given the right kind of structure.

I’ll share a quick story in the video, but here’s the takeaway:
When you stop fighting your brain and start working with it, everything softens your body, your focus, and your horse.

Is The ADD Equestrian Right for You?
Are you a rider who wants something more than quick mindset tips or one‑size‑fits‑all advice?

A good fit if:

• You feel stuck, frustrated, or overwhelmed despite working hard
• You’re struggling in lessons and/or the show ring but aren’t sure why
• You wish you were a more consistent rider
• You want support that goes beyond surface‑level strategies
• You value thoughtful, individualized work
• You’re open to reflection and understand the value of small, meaningful shifts
This work resonates with riders and families who are curious, committed, and ready to look beneath the surface. If you’re unsure, we can talk it through.

Not the best fit if:

• You’re looking for a quick fix or a single “make the nerves go away” trick
• You just want someone to tell you exactly what to do
• You’re not open to discussing emotions, stress, or life outside the barn because you believe it’s “just a riding problem”
• You prefer a highly structured or group‑style program

There are many great approaches out there. This one is for riders who want something thoughtful, relational, and individualized.
If you’re unsure, we can always start with a conversation.
