Regain Your Confidence in the Saddle
Therapy for Equestrians Overcoming Fear, Anxiety, and Riding Trauma
You love horses, but fear, anxiety, or a past riding incident is holding you back. Whether you’ve experienced a fall, loss of confidence, panic while riding, or lingering trauma, you don’t have to face it alone.
I help horse riders feel calm, confident, and connected again, both on and off the horse.

Does This Sound Like You?
You’re Not Weak. Your Nervous System Is Protecting You.
Fear after a riding incident is incredibly common, especially for dedicated horse people. Horses are powerful, unpredictable, and deeply intuitive. When something goes wrong, the brain and body remember, even long after the danger has passed.
Traditional riding lessons don’t always address this layer.
Therapy can.
- You feel anxious or panicky before or during rides
- A fall, accident, or close call shattered your confidence
- You avoid certain situations (cantering, jumping, hacking out, competitions)
- Your body tenses up even when your mind says you’re “safe”
- You’re frustrated that “just pushing through” isn’t working

What Riders Are Saying
“For years, I carried the pressure of keeping myself safe while also worrying that my anxiety was affecting my horse. It became a cycle of tension between us. Through IEMT, I finally released the fear, and in doing so, I freed both myself and my horse. ”
— Cherry,
“After years of talk therapy and EMDR with limited results, working with Rose through IEMT and hypnosis was transformative. The changes were dramatic, lasting, and happened far more quickly than I ever imagined.”
— Stephanie, LVT, FNTP
