Physical therapist and lifelong equestrian Dr. Allison Baier of EquiPT joins the podcast to explore why so many riders feel disconnected from their bodies in the saddle — and what to do about it. Drawing from her training in somatic experiencing and over a decade of physical therapy,
Allie explains the "felt sense," how fight, flight, and freeze states show up in your riding, and why no amount of stretching or positive self-talk can release what's actually stuck in your body. We talk about why adult amateurs struggle with fear more than kids, how orienting to your environment can break a panic spiral at a show, and what happens when you stop trying to fix the problem and start noticing what's already working.
If this episode hit home, do us a huge favor — follow the show, leave a rating, and share it with a rider who needs to hear this. It's the single best way to help us keep bringing conversations like this one to more riders. 🐴
