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 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
If so, your nervous system may still be stuck in survival mode. That’s not a personal failure. It’s a trauma response.

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.

Therapy Designed for Equestrians

I specialize in helping equestrians:
  • Release fear stored in the body
  • Rebuild trust in themselves and their horse
  • Calm anxiety responses before and during rides
  • Process trauma in a safe, supportive way
  • Return to riding with confidence and clarity
Using evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches such as:
  • Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT) 
  • Hypnotherapy 
  • Anxiety and trauma processing techniques
  • Mind-body strategies tailored to riders
What Changes When the Fear Lifts
  • Ride with a calmer, more relaxed body
  • Feel confident handling unexpected moments
  • Stop overthinking every ride
  • Trust your instincts again
  • Enjoy your horse instead of dreading rides
  • Reconnect with why you fell in love with riding in the first place

This isn’t about “being fearless.”
It’s about feeling safe, present, and in control again.

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
