Rider confidence starts with the breath. Join me as we dive into how breathwork affects your body’s stress response, balance, and focus — and why mastering your breathing might just be the most powerful riding tool you have.

Did you know your horse can sense your energy before you even touch the reins? In this video, I talk about how horses pick up on both our positive and negative emotions — and how that affects their own behaviour and connection with us. 🐴💫

I’ll also guide you through a simple breathing exercise you can use to calm your energy, find balance, and create a more relaxed partnership with your horse.

Whether you’re feeling nervous, frustrated, or just want to deepen your bond, this video will help you and your horse feel more in sync — mind, body, and energy.

🌿 Take a deep breath, join me, and let’s create calm together.

When we took Toby on loan, I had no idea he would completely change the way I looked at riding, energy, and confidence. 🐴✨

In this video, I’m sharing the story of how Toby helped me reconnect with my own confidence — and inspired me to start Align & Advance, where I now help other riders rebuild their self-belief, overcome nerves, and rediscover joy in the saddle.

If you’ve ever lost your confidence after a fall, or found yourself second-guessing your riding, this one’s for you 💫

🌿 What you’ll hear in this video:

• How Toby helped me see the power of energy and connection

• Why mindset is the missing piece for so many riders

• The worry I felt about being nervous to ride for the first time in my life
