ERIN CRAIN
RIDER PERFORMANCE COACH
RIDER FIRST RESET
You know what
you’re supposed to do.
So why can’t you
do it when it matters?
Sometimes the problem isn’t that you need more instruction.
It’s that tension, fear, overthinking, or an old riding pattern takes over before you have the chance to use what you already know.
That’s where we start.
PRIVATE 60-MINUTE SESSION · VIRTUAL · $125
THIS MIGHT LOOK FAMILIAR
It happens before you
even realize you’re doing it.
-
You tip forward when you get nervous.
-
You grab the reins when your horse gets quick.
-
You hold your breath approaching the jump.
-
You freeze when something unexpected happens.
-
You ride differently at a show than you do at home.
-
You overthink until your body stops riding naturally.
And the frustrating part?
You probably already know you’re doing it.
You’ve been told to sit up, soften, breathe, let go, trust your horse, stop overthinking—or maybe you’ve told yourself those things a hundred times.
But knowing what to do and being able to access it in the moment are two different things.
That space between knowing and doing? That’s where we Reset.
WHAT HAPPENS IN A RESET
We don’t just talk about
the pattern.
We work on changing it.
01 — UNDERSTAND
Find the pattern underneath the problem.
We look at what happens before, during, and after the response—what you think, what your body does, what triggers it, and what keeps reinforcing it.
02 — INTERRUPT
Change what happens automatically.
Using targeted coaching tools, we work with the mental and physical response itself—not just another instruction to “stop doing it.”
03 — REPLACE
Give your body another option.
We build a clearer, more useful response you can access when the old pattern would normally take over.
You leave knowing what was driving the pattern, what changed, and what to use when it shows up again.
WHAT CHANGES AFTER A RESET
The goal isn’t to feel better
for an hour.
It’s to ride differently afterward.
“I have just had the most amazing, consistent ride... he did some of his best work and it felt so easy because I wasn’t fighting with my body and my balance in the saddle against him.”
And this was with the police doing their training and cantering around them. Neither horse nor rider paid them any attention.
“No matter what happens next, I’m enjoying riding.”
DIFFERENT PATTERNS. SAME SHIFT.
Reset doesn’t look the same
for every rider.
Because the pattern getting in the way isn’t always the same.
WHEN NERVES TAKE OVER
“It’s the least stressed and tense I’ve been at a show.”
“Rounds felt calm, in control. I was present. I brought home me and used the tools we talked about to reset!”
CALM · PRESENT · ABLE TO RESET
WHEN THE PATTERN BUILDS
“I understand now that the problem is starting way before I think it does.”
“I am starting to think more about how to stop the spiral before it starts... I’m slowing things down and recognizing once I am in the pattern and starting over.”
RECOGNIZE · INTERRUPT ·
START AGAIN
“I’ve had more confidence and appreciation for my horse.”
“We tackled the third and final jump in our ring that I’ve been afraid of since April. I asked if we could jump it.”
CONFIDENCE · TRUST · ACTION
WHEN FEAR HOLDS YOU BACK
IS RESET RIGHT FOR YOU?
Reset might be your next step if
knowing hasn’t been enough.
RESET MAY BE A FIT IF...
— You know what your trainer is asking, but your body keeps doing something else.
— The same fear, tension, overthinking, or physical response keeps showing up.
— You ride one way at home—and another way when the pressure goes up.
— You’ve tried more instruction, more exercises, more reminders—and the pattern keeps returning.
— You’re ready to understand what’s underneath it instead of correcting it again.
WHAT RESET ISN’T
This isn’t another riding lesson.
We aren’t spending an hour giving you more technical corrections or telling you everything you should be doing differently.
And it isn’t about pretending fear or tension doesn’t exist.
We work with the response that’s actually happening so you can understand it, interrupt it, and have another option when it shows up.
You don’t need to arrive knowing why you do it. That’s what we’ll figure out together.
YOUR RIDER FIRST RESET
One hour.
One pattern.
A clearer way forward.
Before we meet, you’ll complete a short intake so I understand the pattern you want to work on and what happens when it shows up.
During your Reset, we’ll identify what’s driving the response and use targeted coaching tools to change it.
You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of what’s happening, what changed, and tools you can use when the old pattern tries to show up again.
