If your horse feels tense, distracted, or distant, here’s how to rebuild trust, calmness, and connection — starting with YOU.
You love your horse, but something feels… off.
Maybe they’re tense when you approach.
Maybe they spook more than they used to.
Maybe you can’t quite relax together like you once did.
You’ve tried “doing all the right things” — but there’s one thing most riders overlook:
Your own thoughts, breath, and energy are the signals your horse listens to most.
When your mind is full of worry, self-doubt, or anxious “what ifs,” your breath becomes shallow, your body tightens, and your energy shifts.
To your horse — a prey animal hardwired to scan for danger — this feels like something’s wrong. They can’t relax. They go on high alert. And without safety, there can be no true connection.
It’s not that your horse doesn’t want to be with you — they simply can’t fully trust you if you’re not calm, grounded, and emotionally clear inside.
I’ve worked with countless horse owners who care deeply, put in the time, and still feel something missing in their partnership.
They’re not bad riders or inattentive owners — they’re just carrying more tension, self-doubt, and stress than they realise.
And their horses, being the sensitive beings they are, mirror it back in their behaviour.
That’s why part of this process is training yourself to be fully present — to clear your thoughts and emotions so you meet your horse with a quiet mind and an open heart. When you do that, your horse feels safe enough to relax and connect.
I’m an Equine Physiotherapist, Rehabilitation Specialist, Breathwork Practitioner and Mindset Coach with over 14 years of professional experience helping horses and riders move, feel, and connect better.
I’ve rehabilitated horses after injury and surgery (including my own after kissing spine), supported owners through mindset blocks, and taught riders worldwide how to calm their energy, reset their breath, and create a safe, trusting space their horses want to step into.
Most advice focuses on fixing the horse — their behaviour, their way of going, their training. But if your mindset, breath, and energy are off, no amount of groundwork or schooling will bring true connection.
