Can Love Help Transform Fear into Confidence?
In the world of riding, fear often stems from a lack of trust—whether it's fear of your horse, fear of falling, or simply fear of the unknown. But what if you could use the power of love to transform that fear? What if the secret to overcoming fear in the saddle lies not in “fighting” the fear, but in filling yourself with love and sharing that energy with your horse?

How Can Love Help Transform Fear?

1. Feel Your Feelings of Love
   Before you even mount your horse, take a moment to feel the love inside of you. Whether it's love for your horse, gratitude for the time spent together, or love for the connection you share, harnessing these feelings creates a strong, positive energy. This energy will act as a shield, helping to protect you from feelings of fear or anxiety that might arise during your ride.

2. Pick a "Love" Color to Fill Yourself Up
   Colors are deeply connected to energy, and different colors evoke different emotions. Choose a color that resonates with love—for many, this might be purple (mine), pink or soft yellow. Imagine that color surrounding you, filling you up with warmth and peace. Allow this love color to infuse every cell in your body, boosting your confidence and emotional strength.

3. What Is Your Horse’s "Love" Color?
   Now, tune in to your horse. Just like you, they have their own unique energy field, and they too respond to colors and emotions. What color do you feel your horse would resonate with? Is it a calming blue, or maybe a deep, grounding green? Send them a “Love Ball”—a bubble of energy filled with this color and love. As you send this energy, you’ll notice your horse’s demeanor shift, becoming calmer, more connected with you.

Turning Love into Confidence
When you allow yourself to fill up with love and share it with your horse, you are creating a strong bond of trust and emotional security. This connection allows you to ride with greater ease, confidence, and a sense of peace, because love is the ultimate antidote to fear.

Ready to tap into the power of love to transform your riding experience?

Hey there! I’m Elise Hittinger—Fear Slayer, Confidence Creator, and your go-to Courage Coach.

 
Once upon a time, I was that fearless kid riding deep into Angeles National Forest without a second thought. Then bam—life threw me a plot twist. A horse flipped on me, pinning me beneath it, and fear crept in like an uninvited guest who wouldn’t leave.

That moment tested everything. But here’s the wild part—I walked away with only bruises and a divine reminder that I wasn’t done yet. Fear may have stolen my joy for a while, but it did not get the final say.

Fast forward to a move to Kentucky, where the trails were calling my name. I had two choices: let fear keep the reins or take them back. Spoiler alert—I took them back. Now, I help other riders (and, honestly, anyone sick of fear running their life) do the same.

I make fear pack its little bags and GTFO. Whether it’s through hypnotherapy, NLP, or a little well-placed humor, I help people trade anxiety for confidence, doubt for courage, and overthinking for action.

So, if you’re ready to kick fear to the curb and rediscover the joy you deserve—I’m here for it. Let’s do this.
