A uniquely successful approach to overcoming anxiety, imposter syndrome, self-doubt, and self-sabotage.

Almost every rider has felt fear at some point while working with a horse. Fear is a normal reaction to a frightening situation, and as long as the emotion subsides, it isn’t necessarily a problem. However, when apprehension starts to monopolize our thoughts while in the saddle, and when our interactions with our horses are dominated by panic or dread, we need to make a change.

But what if the fear doesn’t want to go away, but you really don’t want to give up your relationship with horses?

Certified hypnotist Nicole Weber aims to give you unique tools to successfully manage the kind of fear that negatively impacts the pleasure you get from horses and riding. Her goal is to enable you to enjoy your partnership with your horse. It is not that you will never feel fear again if you use her techniques, because in situations that are actually dangerous, you should still feel fear. It is just that you will have the ability to control the emotion at the times when you are truly safe, but your brain is telling you a different story.

Weber begins by covering the theory around fear and how it takes hold of us—how fears arise, what causes them, and why horses mirror our emotions. Then she provides everything readers need to know to empower themselves to turn away from fear and toward enjoying your horse life: step by step photographs, links to videos, and guided audio lessons teach you the art of self-hypnosis and Weber’s own method, which she calls Equihypnosis. These safe, effective lessons can change not only the way you manage riding, but the way you manage your life outside the barn, too.

No matter how long your fear has existed or how old you are, Equihypnosis can liberate you from confining beliefs for good. This surprisingly practical, confidence-inspiring book is for every horse person who wants to make sure she never misses a minute of barn time or a day in the saddle.

By Nicole Weber

Nicole Weber is a certified hypnotist, hypnosis instructor, performance coach, equine-assisted mental health practitioner, and equine osteopath. A lifelong horsewoman, she has experience in a number of disciplines, including dressage, show jumping, and Western. Weber’s interest in hypnosis began when she was 13 years old, and since studying the practice and becoming certified, she has focused on helping professional and recreational riders overcome fears, improve their seat and aids, and achieve a harmonious partnership with their horse. This led her to develop her own techniques specifically for equestrians, which she calls Equihypnosis, and explains in her book by the same name. Using her methods, Weber trained riding therapists at the Kentaurus Institute for Equine-Assisted Interventions, and they have led her to become a popular international speaker. She is based in Krum, Texas (equihypnosis.com).
