Programs
Three ways to work
with Natasha.
They solve different problems, and one of them will be obviously more you than the other two. Below is what each one is, who it’s for, and, just as usefully, who it isn’t for.
For riders carrying fear
Fearless Mastery
The program built out of Natasha’s own fear, after Jorrit broke a bone in her back and she found she couldn’t get back on.
Fear isn’t logical, so being reasoned with has never touched it. Every frightened rider is running a fear strategy: a step-by-step sequence in the mind that produces the same result every single time. Find that sequence, change it, rehearse the new one until it runs on its own, and the fear stops arriving.
- 1
Find the root cause
Not the story you tell about it. The actual sequence your mind runs, step by step.
- 2
Change the movie
NLP techniques that rewrite what your mind plays when your foot goes in the stirrup.
- 3
Retrain the body
The three cues, grip, shoulders and breath, that tell your nervous system whether you’re safe.
- 4
Anchor it
So the new response holds under pressure, not just on a good day in the arena.
Covered by a 180-day money-back guarantee, long enough to actually do the work and find out.
Not for you if… you want someone to promise riding is safe. It isn’t, and Natasha won’t tell you otherwise. What changes is you, not the risk.
Not for you if… you want someone in your ear calling every aid. The whole point is that you can run the recipe yourself when nobody’s watching.
For riders who’ve stopped moving
Dressage Mastery Academy
The Preliminary-to-Grand-Prix progression Natasha built for herself when no coach would help her, then spent a decade making teachable.
Every level rests on the one below it. You can’t ride a shoulder-in until you can ride a circle; you can’t ride a half-pass until you can ride a shoulder-in. Skip a building block and the whole structure comes down later, usually in front of a judge. Most riders who are stuck aren’t lacking talent or a better horse. They’re missing a block from three levels ago.
It’s taught as recipes: exact, repeatable sequences you run yourself. Whether you compete or never enter a test in your life.
- The full progression, Preliminary through to Grand Prix
- What each level’s judge is actually looking for
- Connection and collection, the cycle that never ends
- Both halves: the horse, and the rider on top of it
For riders who want company
The Riders Lounge
Ongoing coaching, and a room full of riders who understand exactly what you’re describing.
This sport can be cruel. There’s comparison, there’s snobbery about breeding and budgets, and there’s a lot of telling people they aren’t good enough. The Lounge is deliberately the opposite of that: no judgement, no gatekeeping, and nobody telling you that you need a better horse.
It’s the lightest-touch way in. You’re not committing to a pathway or working through a fear program. You’re turning up, asking what you want to ask, and being taken seriously.
- Ongoing coaching from Natasha
- A community of riders at every level, on every kind of horse
- Somewhere to ask the question you’re embarrassed by
Not for you if… you want a structured pathway with an end point. That’s the Academy. This is company and coaching, not a curriculum.
