FIVE QUESTIONS
Elite athletes know that the difference between first and second place often comes down to inches, seconds, and moments of focus lost or held. Recreational athletes can use the same techniques to improve attention, manage nerves, and even achieve a flow state.
In equestrian sports, the partnership between horse and rider depends on clear communication and connection that requires concentration and presence. Whether you're competing at the Open or Green Reiner level, running barrels, or competing in Ranch or Western Pleasure, being aware of how you show up to every ride affects both your performance and your horse. That awareness will not only give you an edge, it will also improve your experience.
Take the short assessment to better understand how sport psychology tools might improve your riding experience and performance.

HI, I’M TRACY GRANZYK
I fell for horses, and reining, hard in January 2022. Yes, it may have had something to do with Yellowstone and the fact that Taylor Sheridan put these magnificent animals in my livingroom. I didn’t grow up riding, but I’ve spent the last five years chasing a dream that has captured my mind, body, and spirit.
I’ve spent the years since in lessons, in the stands at the Cactus Reining Classic, and at the Run for the Million taking notes. I have attended horse auctions and clinics held by some of the very best trainers asking questions and collecting stories. I’ve volunteered at an OTTB rescue spending time on the ground with horses. I’ve ridden English and Western along the way, trying to find my seat that only time in the saddle affords. But it was when I found my way to a reining trainer in July 2025 and a Western Ranch and Pleasure barn owned and led by three generations of women in early 2026 that I knew I was home. The journey has only begun.
I hold an MS in sport psychology and an MFA in screenwriting & creative nonfiction. Working with horses has inspired me in many ways, similar to the patient advocates and safety leaders whose stories I told for almost two decades trying to change the culture of medicine to be more patient centered, safe, and equitable. At the end of 2025, I left the traditional work world behind to chase dreams on hold. Since then, I’ve written a novel, built an app for equestrians of all disciplines, and leaned into my entrepreneurial spirit. I am making my way toward horse ownership, taking my time because I know it has to be the right horse(s) and place to keep them. The people and horses I’ve met over the last five years have shown me what true leadership, kindness, and grit look like.
SoulHorse is where I’ll share the stories I’ve collected and what I’m learning and experiencing with horses to help others connect more deeply with their horse and themselves, achieve goals and dreams only wished for, and improve performance in the saddle, at work and at home.
Saddle up. Your horse is waiting.
COMING SOON
