“I did something I hadn’t done in almost 2 years — I rode outside, trotted over poles, and rode without a lead line.

It was such a big moment for me. I’m still riding the high.

The workbook completely shifted how I think about anxiety — focusing on enjoying the ride, celebrating the small wins that are actually huge, and reconnecting to the vision I had for myself as a rider.”

— Kristin

You’re not a nervous rider.

Your brain just doesn’t feel safe in the moments that matter most.

Right before the jump. In the corner.
When something feels even slightly off.

Your body tightens. Your mind speeds up.
And suddenly… you’re not riding like yourself anymore.

That’s anxiety.

And this workbook was designed to help you regulate it in real time — so you can ride with more calm, confidence, and control again.

No therapy fluff. No vague mindset advice.
Just science-backed tools that actually work in the saddle.

If you hired me privately to teach you these tools,

you’d invest anywhere from $4,000–$12,000 in coaching.

Watch this—this will explain exactly why this keeps happening.

Created by Dr. Pernilla Nathan — rider, performance psychology coach, and anxiety specialist for equestrians with a doctorate in clinical psychology.

If you've felt this, this is for you.

If this were as simple as “just relaxing”…

it would’ve worked by now.

Because anxiety in the saddle doesn’t respond to logic.
It responds to what your body has learned to expect.

Which is why it shows up in the same moments—
even when you know exactly what to do.

This is where that changes.

YOU KNOW HOW MUCH YOU LOVE RIDING

But anxiety has a way of turning something you care deeply about
into something that feels heavy, frustrating, and exhausting.

You overthink before you even get on.
You tense up in the saddle.
You replay everything after.

And the hardest part?

You know you’re capable.
You know what to do.

But in the moment—
your mind and body don’t always cooperate.

Anxiety doesn’t just affect how you feel.
It changes how you ride.

THIS IS FOR YOU IF...

This workbook is for you if:

You know how to ride—but your brain doesn’t always cooperate
You replay rides long after they’re over
You feel tension in your body before you even get on
You second-guess decisions you already know how to make
You’re tired of pushing through and hoping it gets better

And the hardest part?
You know you’re capable of more.

WHY THIS KEEPS HAPPENING

Riding anxiety isn’t just “in your head.”

It shows up in your body—
your timing, your tension, your decisions.

And once your brain starts associating certain moments with pressure,
it begins to predict them.

That’s why it feels automatic.
That’s why it shows up fast.
And that’s why it’s so hard to override in the moment.

You don’t need more motivation.

You need a way to retrain how your brain responds.

THE SOLUTION

This isn’t another mindset PDF. It’s a 4-week guided reset
designed to help you change how anxiety shows up in your ride.

So instead of bracing, overthinking, or shutting down—
you learn how to:

catch it in real time
regulate your response
and stay present when it matters

This is how you start riding like yourself again.

WHY THIS WORKS

I created this workbook because I know how real riding anxiety is—and how deeply it can affect your relationship with yourself, your horse, and the sport you love.

As both a rider and a performance psychology specialist, my work focuses on helping riders understand how their brain and nervous system actually respond under pressure.
Because once you understand that, you stop fighting yourself and start working with your mind instead.

This isn’t about “just being confident.”
It’s not about forcing yourself to push through fear.
It’s about learning how to respond differently when it matters most—in the moments where your body usually wants to shut down or bolt.
That’s exactly what this workbook and training series are designed to help you do.
