Finally, a Proven Way to Understand and Alleviate Your Horse’s Tension

Kickstart Your Connection with Your Horse

Not just another quick fix—this is a path to lasting change.

Are you tired of trying every training method and still feeling like something’s missing? Maybe your horse isn’t building muscle despite all your effort, they explode during work, or they completely check out.

These aren’t random issues—they’re signs of a deeper problem: an imbalanced nervous system.

When your horse’s nervous system is stuck in survival mode, their body can’t relax, their mind can’t focus, and real progress becomes impossible. But what if you could understand what’s going on beneath the surface—and finally help them?


Why This Is Different

Most approaches focus on fixing behaviour, but this course goes deeper. We address the root cause of tension by teaching you how to work with your horse’s nervous system states. This isn’t just a quick fix—it’s a pathway to lasting change.

It’s a carefully crafted, science-backed process designed to help you understand your horse’s needs on a deeper level—including their nervous system states—and how your actions, emotions, and habits influence their responses.

Here’s why this works:

  • It’s Personal: You’ll uncover specific insights about your horse’s behaviour, nervous system states and communication style using the "Check Your Horse-Human Connection" Workbook.
  • It’s Practical: The 1:1 session is not just a conversation—it’s a focused hour to dive into your workbook results and create a customised, actionable plan tailored to you and your horse.
  • It’s Grounded in Science and Empathy: With years of experience helping horse owners, I combine an understanding of the horse’s nervous system with practical strategies to build trust and harmony.

Unlike traditional approaches that force a connection or work against your horse’s natural responses, this bundle teaches you how to work with their nervous system states—creating a partnership that feels aligned and productive, not frustrating or fruitless.

Here’s What You’ll Get

Have you always wondered why certain exercises do not have the desired effect? Why your horse keeps rushing or working in an unsupportive outline? Why they don't feel able to connect? Or do you wish to dive deeper and understand your horse's nervous system states and help them out of survival?

  • 🖋️ The Workbook: A comprehensive, interactive guide to analyse your current connection, understand your horse’s nervous system states and highlight areas for growth.

  • 🐎 A 60-Minute 1:1 Session with Steffi: Personalised attention to your unique challenges, giving you clarity and confidence to work with your horse’s natural rhythms instead of struggling against them. This could be a session with or without your horse, you choose.

The Transformation You’ll See

Imagine a horse who trusts you, feels safe, and engages willingly in your work together. Picture the ease of a partnership where tension is replaced by understanding, and progress becomes effortless.

This bundle isn’t just about resolving problems; it’s about unlocking the potential of your partnership—so you and your horse can thrive, together.

This limited-time offer is available only in January 2025 at a special rate of 77€ (normally 111€), because I want to make it accessible for those ready to take action now. 

Spots are limited to ensure each session receives the attention it deserves.

This Is for You If:

You’ve been trying “quick fixes” without seeing lasting results and are ready for a deeper understanding of your horse’s needs.

You want to learn how to work with your horse’s nervous system states, rather than against them, for a calmer, more cooperative partnership.

You value a tailored, practical approach that respects both you and your horse’s individuality.

You want 2025 to be the year you transform your partnership into something extraordinary.

THANK YOU

by Miriam Z.

Steffi Spielhaupter is an extraordinary guide for both humans and horses. With her expertise as an Equine Scientist, her big heart, and her infectious enthusiasm, she creates a unique connection between mind and heart – fostering a holistic and harmonious relationship. Steffi supported me during particularly challenging times with my two horses, Greta and Karlchen. When it came to finding the right time to say goodbye to Greta, she was an invaluable support. With great sensitivity, empathy, and clarity, she stood by my side and guided us through this difficult process – compassionate, supportive, and always with Greta's best interest at heart. With Karlchen, she accompanied me from the very beginning: from our first meeting and my decision to welcome him into my life, to the tough moments of his unexpected and serious illness. During this time, Steffi not only impressed me with her incredible knowledge and experience but also with her warm-hearted and humorous nature, which brought courage and comfort even in the hardest moments. She has an exceptional ability to guide processes while keeping both the human and the horse at the center of her attention. Steffi’s strength also lies in her versatility. She is a true expert in all aspects of horse care – whether it’s training, improving the human-horse connection, feeding, housing, or simply enhancing quality time together. Her deep understanding of the nervous system, equine body language, and her vast experience with a wide variety of horses allow her to find individual and creative solutions for every situation – always in the best interest of the horse. At the same time, her humorous and appreciative manner enriches every conversation and interaction. I already know that I won’t hesitate to turn to Steffi again as soon as my heart is ready to welcome a new horse into my life. Her support is simply invaluable, and I couldn’t imagine a better companion for life with horses. ❤️

The session I had with Steffi was eye-opening!

by Alysen S.-B.

The session I had with Steffi was eye-opening! She picked up on so many subtle nuances in my mare’s behaviour that I was missing. I’m grateful for this new awareness! I now feel equipped to notice these signals before they escalate and potentially manifest into other behaviours. The session helped me reshape our training in a way that supports her nervous system for better and quicker regulation. Since practicing the exercises, I’ve noticed a huge shift in her ability to quickly return to a calm state during moments of stress. Steffi is kind and grounded; I felt comfortable, safe, and supported during our session, which also positively impacted my own nervous system in connection with my horse. She is an expert at the forefront of guiding humans into deeper connections with their horses, utilizing science and pioneering techniques focused on nervous system regulation for both humans and horses.
