News & Reading
What happens when the show ring starts feeling more like a battleground than a playground? For 5* rider Hannah Sue Hollberg, the answer came when she hit emotional rock bottom—and reached out to former eventer turned performance coach Natalie Hummel. Their collaboration cracked open a new way of thinking about mindset and nervous system regulation in sport, exploring how trauma and subconscious patterns can sabotage even the most skilled athletes. Hannah now assists with Natalie’s signature programs How To Heal and How To Perform, both aimed at helping riders build awareness, emotional resilience, and a more connected relationship with their horses—and themselves.

Ever wished you could just skip that one spooky cross country fence? At a first of its kind Cross Country Equestrian (CCE) workshop held June 28 at FENCE in North Carolina, riders did exactly that—and without penalty. Designed by five-star winner Nick Larkin, CCE is an innovative format that rewards smart, horse-first decision-making and lets riders choose which fences to jump for points. Whether riding solo or in pairs, competitors from Level 1 (intro) through Level 5 (training equivalent) got a taste of this low-pressure, high-fun alternative to traditional horse trials. Riders praised the flexibility, safety focus, and emphasis on connection over perfection. If this sounds like your kind of eventing, stay tuned—CCE may be coming to a venue near you. Read more on the workshop here.
