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 skills might improve your riding experience and performance.

Working with horses has inspired me in many ways, similar to the patient advocates and safety leaders whose stories I told for two decades trying to change the culture of medicine to be more patient centered, safe, and equitable. I left the traditional work world in November 2025 to chase dreams on hold because they started chasing me. 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 and building a Quarter Horse rescue. I hold an MS in sport psychology and an MFA in screenwriting & creative nonfiction, and I’m returning to coaching athletes, equestrians, authors, and anyone stuck in a corporate world trying to chase their dreams too.
SoulHorse is where I’ll share the stories and learning I’ve collected over this period of immersive learning with horses. Riders of all ages and experience levels will benefit from acquiring sport psychology skills. Women of all ages will find a kindred spirit in knowing it’s never too soon or too late to chase your dreams. My goal is to help others experience what happens when you truly connect with a horse and more deeply with yourself by honoring your purpose. Together, we can achieve goals and dreams only wished for and improve performance in the saddle, at work, and at home.
In January of 2022, I fell for horses and reining hard. Yes, it may have had something to do with Yellowstone and the fact that Taylor Sheridan put these magnificent animals in my living room. 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 caring for horses. I’ve ridden English and Western, trying to find my seat that only time in the saddle affords. But it was when I found my way to reining trainer Martin Melgoza in July 2025, and Timmermann’s Ranch & Saddle Shop, a Western Ranch and Pleasure barn owned and led by three generations of amazing women in early 2026, that I knew I was home. The people and horses I’ve met over the last five years have become community. They’ve shown me what true leadership, kindness, and grit look like. And the journey has only begun.
