Nerves before entering the ring
Your horse feels them before you do.

Mental performance coaching for equestrian sports
In equestrian sports you compete as a team with an animal that feels your nerves. As a mental performance professional, I help you manage anxiety before entering the ring, rebuild confidence after a fall and stay focused course after course.
Sound familiar?
What we work on most in equestrian sports.
Mental performance work for riders trains the person, always thinking about horse and rider together.
Fear after a fall
You got back in the saddle, but not back to riding freely.
Freezing at a fence
There is one jump that stops you even though you have done it a thousand times.
Pressure at shows
Placings, points and one mistake that costs everything.
Expectations around you
Your trainer, your family, the barn: everyone is watching.
Comparing yourself to other riders
Watching everyone else pulls you out of your own course.
