I struggled with back pain and not feeling confident in the saddle
I was struggling with some back pain when riding and just didn’t feel confident and secure in the saddle.
I had recently purchased a great horse – Chili- and wanted to be a better rider for her sake.
Improving my balance and getting my body to be more naturally aligned and relaxed and understanding how this all connects to my mind has helped me manage my fears, increase my confidence in the saddle, and I do believe is helping Chili have more trust in me. Tracie

“I’m an occupational therapist and specialize in myofascial release techniques…so I had a lot of tools … but wasn’t able to help myself into a completely pain free life. But mostly: I wanted to have fun riding and not unbalance my horses! NOW: I am celebrating: no pain! For the first time in YEARS! And: I am agile and steady on my feet! But most importantly: I feel comfortable and confident in the saddle and am LOVING THAT! “

“I am just getting started in this program – before I was experiencing upper and lower back pain and extreme difficulty in sitting straight on a horse. Anna’s Program has been most helpful for both problems. I am becoming more and more able to sit straight in the saddle.”

“Today I celebrate…UNSTUCKNESS!! I’m not exactly sure when it happened, but for the past 2 days I’ve been moving and contorting myself to see if the stuck spot in my upper back between my right shoulder blade and spine is still there… but I CAN’T FIND IT!! Instead I’m finding greater range of motion, freedom of movement, and a feeling of equality on both sides!! Thank you Anna”
