Episode 1: Perception in the Saddle – How Energy Shapes Your Ride

From Self to Saddle – Mastery Starts Here

What if the way you see your ride is shaping the way you experience it?

In this powerful first episode of Mastering Rider Mindfulness, we explore how your perception—your beliefs, emotions, and energetic state—directly influences your performance, your connection with your horse, and your joy in the saddle.

Host Cathy Penrod, Certified COR.E Performance Dynamics Specialist, introduces the foundational concepts of energy awareness and mindset mastery. You’ll learn how invisible filters shape your reactions, how catabolic and anabolic energy impact your ride, and how to begin shifting from stress to strength, from doing to being.

We’ll also dive into:

• The 7 Levels of Energy and how they show up in the saddle
• The difference between “doing” and “being” as a rider
• A simple but powerful mindfulness exercise to take into your next ride
• What it means to ride as a 7th Level Rider—and how that’s available to you now

Whether you’re showing or riding for pleasure, this episode lays the groundwork for a more conscious, confident, and connected riding experience.
