"This course has helped me understand the science behind fear and how my coping mechanisms for life spill over to riding."
"It gave me more ways to think about things differently and realize what's "normal,” which me to ride pro-actively with confidence rather than waiting for something bad to happen."
"I loved the information on the connection with our horse. It is not about control, it is about connection. Having techniques to calm myself in uncomfortable situations has been really helpful."
"The practical tips, like breathing techniques along with the education behind the neurology of what goes on in our bodies, was a game changer. This knowledge gave permission to be real and that it is okay to be afraid . . . and then find a way forward."
