The Winning Look

Stall High Neuroscience Coaching with Leanna RaeFocus: Helping riders regulate their nervous system, improve attunement with their horse, and unlock faster reaction times and calmer, more connected runs. Leanna Rae’s approach integrates relational neuroscience, polyvagal theory, and practical biomechanics to optimize both the rider's and horse’s performance. Core Topics Covered in a One-Hour Session: 1. Understanding Your Nervous System in the Saddle● Why your nervous system controls your reaction time, balance, and feel.● How fight, flight, freeze responses show up in barrel racing (tight shoulders, delayed reactions, poor decision-making).● Polyvagal Theory basics and why co-regulation with your horse matters.2. The Attunement Advantage● What it means to ride in attunement—being fully present, aware, and in sync with your horse.● Identifying signs when you or your horse are out of attunement (tight reins, rushed patterns, resistance).● How attunement unlocks smoother transitions and
