Fear in the saddle is more common than you think.
But when nervousness becomes panic — when joy is replaced by dread — it’s time for a breakthrough.
Equihypnosis offers a trauma-informed, practical approach to transforming fear into freedom — in and out of the saddle.
You’ll learn:
• Why riding fear isn't “just in your head”
• How horses mirror your nervous system
• Practical self-hypnosis techniques to calm your body and mind
With step-by-step photographs, video links, and powerful audio lessons, Equihypnosis helps you build confidence, regain control, and reconnect with your horse.
Whether you’ve struggled for years or fear came out of nowhere — this book is your companion back to joy in the saddle.
