Let's face it, your horse can feel it when your mind is cluttered.The inbox stress, the barn drama, the endless to-do list running laps in your head, it all shows up in the saddle.

Welcome to Mind Over Muck, part of the Mastering Rider Mindfulness – From Self to Saddle™ series. This podcast is where equestrians learn to clean out the mental stalls, ditch the head trash, and ride with more clarity and focus.

This episode dives into the third stress influencer, mental clutter. We’ve already explored the social and spiritual influencers, and now it’s time to get honest about what happens when your brain is stuck in the muck. From showing up at the barn frazzled instead of grounded, to dragging invisible distractions into your ride, mental clutter is one of the sneakiest ways stress impacts your connection with your horse.

With humor, barn-aisle real talk, and practical tools, you’ll discover how to:

• ​Ride clearer 🧠
• ​Focus deeper 🎯
• ​Connect stronger 🐴

Because the muck belongs in the bucket not in your brain.
