About this episode

The episode features a discussion with therapist Kristi Seymour on managing performance anxiety in equestrian sports.

This week on Over the Oxer, I’m joined by the brilliant Kristi Seymour. Kristi is a licensed clinical therapist with over 20 years’ experience, a lifelong equestrian (five decades in the saddle and counting!) and the founder of EquiMind. Kristi joined me from Alaska at a rather eye-watering 5:00 AM to dig into the science of why our performance often "breaks" under pressure. As a Master Trainer of NLP, I found it fascinating to look at the "in-the-moment" physiology of riding. We discuss what to do in that moment when the adrenaline hits and how we can use our own nervous system to send clearer, calmer signals to our horses. Kristi Seymour is a clinical therapist, author, and equestrian performance coach. She created EquiMind to give riders practical, "in-the-pocket" tools to manage anxiety and find their flow. Whether you’re a hack-out enthusiast or a professional with a string of five horses, Kristi’s approach is about making the time we spend in the saddle more joyful and effective. Enjoyed this?
