High performance skincare for riders, trusted by 5000+ riders and counting. www.kalioequestrian.com Welcome to the first installment of our Middle-Aged Rider Series, where we're exploring how to ride better, feel better, and stay in the sport we love as our bodies, brains, and lives change. We're kicking things off with sport psychologist Dr. Jenny Susser to unpack why riding can feel different in middle age. But before you click away, it's not all bad! There's actually a lot of good news, and we dive into it in this series. From changing perceptions of risk and confidence, to cognitive load, resilience, and working together with your brain and body, instead of against it. With the right understanding, the experience, perspective, and self-knowledge we gain with age may actually help us become better riders. Let's learn how.  REFERENCE 1 - Pregnancy and the brain (email us for the pdf!)
