Welcome to Joyful Equestrian
Alexandra Jenkins has created this space for equestrians healing from injury, fear, or disconnection—Ready to shift into confidence, connection, and calm through nervous system regulation and somatic awareness.
Through a unique blend of nervous system education, somatic awareness, and trauma-informed practices, riders are guided to process what their bodies have been holding so they can finally let go. The work invites equestrians to understand the language of their own nervous systems, release tension and anxiety, and rebuild trust — in themselves and in their partnership with their horses.
Grounded in curiosity and connection, this approach supports riders in slowing down, regulating, and coming home to their bodies. It is here, in this place of calm awareness, that true confidence and joy in the saddle begin to return.
Because healing doesn’t come from pushing through — it comes from learning to listen, regulate, and ride from a place of trust.
