B., New Zealand
Clients across New Zealand and Australia often notice positive changes not only in themselves, but also in their horse’s relaxation, behaviour and responsiveness after working with Britta.
Having personally experienced fear after falls, competition anxiety, pain & physical tension and the loss of trust in both herself and her horse, Britta understands firsthand how deeply these challenges can affect the riders body and mind and also the soundness and stress level of the horse.
About Britta
Britta is a lifelong rider and holistic therapist with over 25 years of experience supporting people with stress relief, confidence, body awareness, and nervous system wellbeing.
Combining professional training in Hypnotherapy, NLP, Somatic practices, and Nervous System Regulation with decades of hands-on horse experience, she helps riders feel calmer, more balanced, and more connected with their horses — both in and out of the saddle.
Having worked with horses for many years in Germany in breeding, training support, showing, and horse care, Britta deeply understands the emotional and physical challenges riders can experience, including fear, tension, overthinking, and loss of confidence.
After moving from Germany to New Zealand in 2015, she made the heartbreaking decision to leave behind her beloved horse Sunny, whom she had owned since she was a foal. Choosing her horse’s wellbeing over her own wishes gave Britta an even deeper understanding of the bond between horse and rider, and the importance of calm, compassionate, horse-centred care.
Today, Britta is passionate about helping riders reconnect with themselves and their horses with greater confidence, trust, calmness, and enjoyment.
