You love him. So why is there a knot in your stomach on the walk to the barn?
UNSPIRAL gets you out of your head and back into the ride, even with the reins in your hands.
Your horse feels what you think. When your mind starts spinning, he knows before you do. UNSPIRAL shows you where that spiral begins, how to catch it early, and how to come back to calm in the saddle and on the ground, without ever getting off.
This is for you if:
You love your horse but dread the ride
You're back after a fall, a break, or a bad year
You ride beautifully at home and freeze at a show
Your horse catches your nerves, and you spiral together
"Just relax" has never once worked for you
The day I almost got off.

It was shortly after I moved to Mallorca. Dominguero was a young stallion then, five or six, and we were still at another yard. Next to the arena was the mares' paddock. That day someone turned the mares out, and they galloped. Right next to us.
Dominguero exploded inside. I could feel every muscle under me wanting to go with them. And I felt my own head start: what if he bolts, what if I can't hold him, what if.
I wanted to get off. Honestly, every part of me wanted to get off.
I didn't, for one reason. Years before, I had learned two things from teachers who rode in the tradition of centered riding: how to breathe out, long and slow, and how to soften my eyes and my hands. So I breathed. I softened my eyes. I felt my seat come back. And a few breaths later, so did he.
I rode him that day. I was shaking afterward, and I was enormously proud.
That ride is the reason UNSPIRAL exists. Not because I'm fearless. I'm not, and after more than 50 years with horses I don't need to be. I had tools that worked in the saddle, with the reins in my hands, while the spiral was happening. Most advice tells you to step away from the situation. On a horse, you can't.
Today Dominguero is the best thing that ever happened to me. You'll meet him inside.
You don't have to be fearless. You have to be free.
Who I am
I help horsewomen turn overthinking into feel.
I'm Daniela Büschel. I've spent more than 50 years with horses and breed PRE and Hanoverian horses at Es Ravella, my finca in Mallorca. I'm a Certified High Performance Coach, an equine naturopath, and, most of all, a rider and horse breeder. I'm not a therapist or physician — this is education and practice, not treatment. If fear in the saddle is part of something larger, please bring a professional alongside you.
UNSPIRAL is the first step of what I call the Ravella 3 C's: Calm mind. Confident ride. Content horse. Calm mind starts here.
