Why does my body shake?

from Turn Riding Fear Around · host Elise Hittinger

Shaking can be one of the most unsettling physical symptoms of riding anxiety. But there's a reason your body does it. In this episode of Turn Riding Fear Around, we're talking about adrenaline—what happens in your body when it shows up and why something as simple as your horse swishing at a fly, shaking its head, or stepping into the canter can suddenly send your body into high alert. Understanding what's happening gives you something solid to work with. Your body is protecting you, and you can help it discover what safe feels like while also learning to recognize what really does need your attention. In this episode, you'll learn:• Recognize adrenaline when it shows up.• Thank your body for protecting you.• Help your body discover what safe feels like and just important, what needs attention. Shaking is information. When you understand what your body is telling you, you can decide what comes next.If riding anxiety is showing up in your body and you're ready to create a plan for feeling calmer and more confident in the saddle, I'd love to help. A Calm-Ride Strategy Call gives us a chance to look at what's happening for you and create the next step that's right for you.  https://elisehittinger.com/scheduler/calm-ride-strategy And if you'd like to keep going, explore the Turn Riding Fear Around playlist on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@elisehittingerCH )—and keep training courage into your riding. ????????
