Britta Bruns - Rebalance mind and body

Remember when riding felt like this? 🐴💙

Spring is here. The days are getting longer, and riding, clinics and competitions are starting up again.
But maybe getting back in the saddle doesn't feel quite as exciting as you thought it would.

Maybe you:
• overthink everything before you get on
• feel anxious or fearful when riding
• have lost your confidence after a fall or difficult experience
• constantly think about what could go wrong
• find yourself holding back instead of really enjoying your riding

And perhaps you've told yourself:
"Just relax. I know I can do this."

But knowing that doesn't necessarily make your mind feel any safer.
This is where mindset coaching can help.

I work with equestrians nationwide to help them move past fear, anxiety, overthinking and shaken confidence — so they can feel calmer, more confident and more in control of their own mind when they ride.

Sometimes you simply want to be able to say:
“I want to enjoy riding again. I want to trust myself again.”

💙 I'm offering a FREE, no-obligation discovery chat to talk about what's going on for you and whether mindset coaching could help.

And for September only, there's a special price on my 1:1 mindset sessions.

If this sounds like you, send me a message or email me at [email protected] and let's have a chat.

No pressure, no judgement.

I wonder...

..when was the last time you thanked your body?💖

Not for what it looks like.

But for everything it allows you to do.

For carrying you.

For helping you ride.

For getting back in the saddle after difficult days.

💖Our bodies do so much for us.
💖Maybe today is a good day to appreciate yours.

💖Rebalance Reflection

🐴Have you ever noticed...
the days when riding feels easiest aren't always the days when everything goes perfectly?

🐴Sometimes they're the days when we simply let go of needing everything to be perfect.

When we laugh.
When we breathe.
When we enjoy being with our horse.

Maybe that's enough.

💙 Just something to take with you this week.

What if…?

🐴I wonder how often your mind asks:

What if he spooks?
What if I fall?
What if I get it wrong?
What if everyone is watching?

🐴Our minds are very good at preparing us for what could go wrong if we have installed this thinking pattern over a long period of time.

🐴But what if you asked a different question?

What if it goes really well?
What if I handle it better than I expect?
What if my horse surprises me?

You don't have to ignore the possibility of something going wrong.

Just remember:
The worst thing that could happen isn't the only possibility.

This is the kind of mindset work I love exploring with riders.

I levelled up once again to a Master Practitioner in NLP 💪💪💪💪

🐴❤️My purpose is helping riders notice their thinking patterns, releasing unhelpful emotions and beliefs and uncovering the resources that are already there to reconnect to themselves and thrive with their horses.🐴❤️

❤️I personally have experienced immense shifts and releases of my own self doubts, confidence issues, limiting decisions and unhelpful emotions (especially since moving to NZ from Germany with all the immense changes that I needed to face AND leaving my beloved horse behind) with NLP and Hypnotherapy work.

It is so powerful and relieving!!!!😀❤️🙏

If you are not sure, think about:

🐴What would your horse say if you could let that tension in your body go, that overthinking or the fear?
How would that change your horse time?

I offer a FREE 20MIN consultation if you would like to have a chat about this🙏🐴❤️

Either PM or email me at
[email protected]

Be well, ride well🐴❤️🙏

🐴 I wonder.....

What's one thing your horse taught you this week?

Leave a comment, I am curious what type of horse you have and what he taught you this week🐴🐴💖🐴

🐴Before your next ride…

🙏Take one slow breath.

🙏Feel your feet on the ground.

🙏Notice your body.

🐴Notice your horse.

No need to change anything.
Just notice.
Sometimes that's enough to begin creating a different ride.

Have a wonderful week with your horses. 💙

Rider insight

🙏What if your body is giving you clues too?

🙏Before we notice stress in our mind, our body often notices first.

🙏Maybe your breathing becomes a little shallower.

🙏Maybe your hands feel tighter on the reins.

🙏Maybe your hips become a little less mobile.

💖Our bodies are always communicating with us.
The more we listen, the easier it becomes to make small adjustments before tension builds and compromised our rididng experince or horse encounter from the ground.

🐴What does your body usually tell you first? Is your horse changing his movements or focus as well if your body tenses up or mind wanders?

🥰Homework for you: If something feels weitd or wrong in your next ride or your horse seems overly reactive or distracted, check in with yourself: How is body feeling? Hiow is your heart rate and breath? What is your mind occupied with?

💖Becoming aware is the first step to notice and change. No judgement, no labelling neither for yourself or the horse. Just observing and tuning in.

Try it and let me know what you noticed😀🐴🙏

💖Be well, ride well.
