equestrian performance breathwork| the gap between the gap™

ongoing nervous-system refinement for steady performance and trusted partnership—seasonal

single session reset (60 min) — rider–horse coherence
a focused reset you can book once, or return to as needed.

private container (3 / 6 / 12 months) — the gap between the gap™
season-level support for riders who want structure, continuity, and deeper integration.

not sure yet? start with the single session reset → rider–horse coherence.

when you think about your season as a whole, do you trust your inner state to hold as steadily as your horse’s training?
is this the moment to train the internal field your horse has been reading all along — so performance becomes an expression of trust?

if these questions land in your body, this is your entry into season-level partnership that evolves with you, your horse, and the stakes you’re riding inside.

we begin with what’s most present in your body and partnership, then shape the path from there. no two riders move through this work the same way — yet the spine stays constant: breath, nervous system, and the subtle field your horse reads.

inside a flagship session
this private session lays the groundwork for coherence you can return to — in the warm-up ring, at the in-gate, after a hard round, and on non-riding days.

what this session supports
in this session, you learn to:
• unwind survival patterns that surface under pressure — before, during, and after competition
• regulate your nervous system so your horse feels steadiness, clarity, and safety in your seat
• transform show nerves into focused presence your horse can perform inside of
• release tension imprinted from past falls, injuries, or high-stakes experiences still held in the body
• build a repeatable breath + regulation reset you can use in the barn aisle, warm-up ring, or at home

how we work
each session is shaped around your real riding life. together, we typically:
• map how your nervous system responds to pressure using specific moments from rides, shows, or past falls
• sequence breath and regulation practices that meet your system where it is (no forcing)
• practice shifting state in real time using situations your body already knows (the in-gate, a tight line, a spooky corner, a difficult transition)
• translate internal shifts into cleaner signals your horse can feel through seat, breath, and presence
• close with a simple reset you can repeat on your own — before a ride, between classes, or at home

how this work can support a season
some riders let this session stand alone as a reset. others return as needed — before key shows, after a tough ride, or when something new surfaces in the partnership. and some choose a more structured arc.over time, support can look like:
• a 3-month reset — recalibrate, rebuild confidence, and anchor a new baseline your horse can trust
• a 6-month season companion — ongoing support through a competition season, woven into training, showing, and recovery rhythms
• a 12-month integration — coherence held across performance, recovery, and life thresholds, season after season

after your first session, we decide what rhythm fits your season and your horse.

pathways your plan may draw from
your plan can draw from focused pathways such as:
• rebuilding your seat after trauma (confidence, rhythm, and internal steadiness)
• equestrian breathwork — groups (barn / team coherence)
• strength, rhythm & reset (recovery, steadiness, multidimensional strength)
• breathwork for thresholds of change (grief, reinvention, identity shifts — whether or not you’re riding)

these are living pathways — not boxes — and your plan can move between them as you and your horse evolve.

the gap between the gap™ method
your horse reads the space between your thoughts, your breath, your tension, and your intention. that invisible space is the gap between the gap™ — the internal quiet where your body organizes into coherence… and your horse finally feels held instead of managed.

through trauma-informed somatic breathwork, nervous system regulation, and subtle energy awareness, you learn to create that internal gap on purpose — even when the stakes are high. when your internal field settles, your horse reads your body as reliable, grounded, and safe — and performance becomes an expression of trust.
