Inner Circle Membership
Welcome to The Inner Circle—The Only Polyvagal-Informed Membership for Equestrians Ready to Move Beyond Survival Mode and Build True Connection.
Most training methods focus on fixing behaviour. The Inner Circle focuses on the nervous system—because true partnership starts from the inside out.
If your horse is reactive, shut down, or you’re feeling stuck despite doing everything "right," the problem isn’t your technique—it’s the underlying sense of safety and connection.
Your horse sometimes feels distant, reactive, or disconnected, and you can’t quite figure out why.
You keep trying different approaches, but something still feels off.
You’re doing everything "right," but your horse isn’t responding how you hoped.
💡 It’s not about training—it’s about the nervous system.
Most approaches focus on behaviour, but real connection happens when we work with the nervous system, not against it. If your horse:
Seems calm but isn’t truly engaged
Explodes suddenly, even when things seemed fine
Shuts down and stops trying altogether
…it’s NOT a training issue. It’s a nervous system issue. And that's exactly what we work on inside The Inner Circle.
What Survival can look like:
✔ Learn how to recognise survival mode in yourself and your horse
✔ Shift from reactivity to calm, attuned connection
✔ Get proven polyvagal-informed strategies to regulate both you and your horse
✔ Stop second-guessing—know exactly what to do in the moment
✔ Gain access to step-by-step video tutorials & case studies
✔ Learn gentle, science-backed techniques that create real trust
✔ Exclusive live Q&A sessions so you’re never left figuring it out alone
✔ A supportive private space to ask questions & share your journey
✔ Direct access to my guidance—no more confusion or guesswork

The Transformation this Framework brought on for Karlchen within a few short Weeks:
At the heart of every horse-human relationship is one key question: Does this feel safe?
Safety isn’t just physical—it's also emotional, social and psychological. When a horse feels safe, they can learn, play, connect and grow. When they don’t feel safe, their behaviour reflects this: they might shut down, react, or disengage.
The good news? You have the power to influence that sense of safety—through your understanding, your energy and your actions during every interaction.
The Inner Circle is not about quick fixes or surface-level solutions. It’s about deep, meaningful change that lasts.
Understand your horse on a deeper level: Learn how to recognise, decode and address the root causes of tension, stress and understand your horse's emotional states.
Create a thriving partnership: Experience a relationship that feels safe, connected, and mutually fulfilling. Whether it is in the saddle or on the ground, during everyday interactions or specific situations.
Feel empowered: Gain the tools and knowledge to confidently guide your horse’s well-being and growth by learning how to work with their nervous system states in every situation.
Join the movement: Be part of a community that’s transforming the equine industry—one horse and human at a time.
Picture this: a horse that feels at ease in your presence, no longer reacting out of fear or tension. A partnership where every interaction feels like teamwork, built on trust and mutual respect. That’s the transformation waiting for you.

Most training methods focus on fixing behaviour. We go deeper.
🚫 No more pushing through fear and frustration.
🚫 No more endless techniques that don’t address the real issue.
✅ Instead, you’ll work with the nervous system—not against it.
If you’ve tried techniques that worked for others but not for you, it’s NOT because you’re failing—it’s because you’re missing this key piece. Your horse needs to feel safe before learning can happen.
The Inner Circle is a supportive membership for horse owners who want to deepen their understanding of their horse’s behaviour, address tension and stress at its root, and build a thriving partnership from the ground up into the saddle and beyond. Whether you’re struggling with miscommunication, behavioural challenges, or simply want to connect on a deeper level, the Inner Circle provides the tools, guidance, and community to help you transform your bond.
When you join the Inner Circle, you’ll receive: Monthly live coaching calls for personalised guidance. Lifetime access to the resource library filled with step-by-step tools, workshops, and video lessons. Community support from like-minded horse owners sharing the same journey. Actionable workbooks and guides to help you implement what you learn.
Unlike traditional training programs that focus on surface-level behaviours, the Inner Circle addresses the root causes of tension and stress—your horse’s nervous system. This science-backed approach helps you move beyond temporary fixes and create lasting transformation built on safety, trust, and understanding.
No worries! All live coaching calls are recorded and made available in the resource library. You can watch them at your convenience and still gain the valuable insights and guidance shared during the sessions.
Absolutely. Whether you’re a dressage rider, a trail enthusiast, or simply a horse lover, the principles of connection, trust, and addressing tension apply universally. The Inner Circle meets you where you are, no matter your discipline or experience level.
That’s okay! The Inner Circle is designed to be a safe, welcoming space. If you’re unsure, feel free to reach out with your questions or concerns. We’re here to help you decide if this is the right next step for you and your horse.
