In the show ring, success is never just about the round it’s about the team behind it 🧠🐴

Lauren Schweppe’s standout ride in the $10,000 USHJA International Hunter Derby is a perfect example of what happens when skill, mindset, and support come together. Her performance reflects not only her own talent, but the strength of the village around her.

Let’s share this as a reminder that it truly takes a village to achieve success in the show ring. Lauren is one very important member of Dr. Wendy’s village. She helps to build the skills and instill the confidence that enable Dr. Wendy and her horse to deliver the best rides possible.

When you surround yourself with the right people, you never know where you might end up.

That’s where someone like Dr. Wendy becomes a powerful asset to any rider’s team. She brings a rare blend of equestrian experience and rider‑psych insight, helping riders develop the mental clarity, emotional regulation, and confidence needed to perform under pressure. She understands the psychology of the sport: the focus, the feel, the resilience and helps riders build it from the inside out.

When you add someone like her to your program, you’re not just improving your technique. You’re strengthening your mindset. You’re sharpening your awareness. You’re elevating your entire ride.

Walking into the ring in a state of panic, forgetting your course, losing track of strides… these are struggles so many riders face. The truth is, when you’re disconnected from yourself, it’s almost impossible to follow a plan or ride with clarity. That’s where I come in.

🐴✨ At The ADD Equestrian, I help riders build awareness, confidence, and practical strategies so they can walk into the ring calm, ride their plan with focus, and walk out knowing exactly what went well and where to improve. No more guessing, no more chaos just clear steps toward becoming the rider you want to be. Ready to ride with confidence? Let’s connect today.

Sandhill cranes are known for their calm presence and their ability to move in sync with one another. Even in busy neighborhoods, they stay steady, aware of their surroundings without overreacting.

Our horses respond to us in the same way. They notice every shift in our energy, breath, and focus. When we stay grounded, they mirror that steadiness. When we’re anxious or distracted, they pick up on it immediately.

Building attunement isn’t just about riding skills it’s about nervous system regulation, mindfulness, and learning to notice subtle cues. At The ADD Equestrian, we help riders develop these skills so they can create stronger, more confident partnerships in the saddle and the show ring.
