Your horse feels everything
Your nervous system matters
Sport and performance psychology for equestrians offered virtually throughout California and Oregon.
We will work together to better understand how your nervous system is the key to your riding and a better relationship with your horse. Whether you are navigating performance anxiety, fear after a fall or injury, or mental health struggles in a sport like no other. I can help.
Hi, I'm Dr. Caroline Vetter, a licensed Clinical and Sport psychologist. As a lifelong equestrian, I know the uniqueness of our sport and the intricacies of what goes into having a good ride. Working together means you won’t have to spend time explaining what a distance or the centerline is, we can skip the context and get straight to working on how to support you and your riding.
You’re at the barn as often as you can be. You love your horse and know them better than anyone. And yet what used to bring you joy, peace and presence, now leaves you feeling nervous on the drive to the barn, confidence slips away at the mounting block and after your lesson you can’t seem to stop criticizing yourself.
You don't have to push through alone.
