Uplevel Your
Riding Mindset
Rider Mindset Programme
For Riders Who Get In Their Own Head
Show up differently in your riding
Ride with more presence, more understanding & less pressure
Have you noticed that you get in your own head when you’re riding?
You overthink things.
You second-guess yourself.
You put a lot of pressure on yourself.
You replay rides afterwards, wondering what you should have done differently.
You compare yourself to others and wonder why they seem to find it so much easier than you do.
And perhaps the most frustrating part…
You know what to do.
But when it matters, something gets in the way.
Immediate access - 10 Modules - over 2 hours of content - 12 months access
Most riders assume they have:
- A focus problem
- A pressure problem
- Or that they’re simply not mentally strong enough
Here's The Good News
There is nothing wrong with you.
You’re not broken.
You’re not alone in this.
The truth is:
Most riders don’t have a riding problem.
They have a thinking problem.
Without realising it, they’re using their mind in a way that isn’t helping them.
The bad news?
Those patterns create pressure, overthinking, self-doubt and frustration.
The good news?
Patterns can change.
I’ve spent years helping riders understand why they do what they do, so they can stop fighting themselves and start showing up differently in their riding.
Not by becoming someone different.
Not by pretending to be confident.
Not through toxic positivity.
And not by trying to “fake it till you make it”.
But by understanding yourself better.
Because when you understand what’s actually happening, everything starts to make sense.
And when things make sense, they become much easier to change.
You don’t need to become someone else.
You need to understand yourself better.
Curious About My Approach?
Listen to these podcast conversations to hear me talk about mindset, pressure and the patterns that shape how we show up — both in and out of the saddle.
Why This Matters (For You & Your Horse)
Somewhere along the way, many riders lose sight of why they started.
They started because they loved horses.
They loved being around them.
Learning from them.
Spending time with them.
And over time, they find themselves:
- Judging themselves
- Criticising themselves
- Putting themselves under pressure
- Comparing themselves to others
- Worrying about what other people think
And the Result?
Riding becomes harder.
Less enjoyable.
And often, their horse feels it too.
Because your horse experiences who you are.
If you’re distracted, they feel it.
If you’re carrying pressure, they feel it.
If you’re stuck in your head, they feel it.
Not because you’re doing anything wrong.
Horses are incredibly sensitive to what we bring into the partnership.
That’s why uplevelling your riding mindset isn’t just about helping you.
It’s about helping your horse experience a more present version of you.
A more present version of you.
And when you’re more present, it’s much easier to reconnect with why you started riding in the first place.
Most rider mindset advice focuses on:
- Nerves
- Self-doubt
- Overthinking
But What If That's Not The Answer?
What if the goal isn’t to get rid of those experiences…
But to understand them?
Because when you understand what’s actually happening, you stop fighting yourself.
And when you stop fighting yourself, everything starts to change.
Uplevelling your riding mindset isn’t about lowering your standards.
It’s not about becoming less ambitious.
And it’s certainly not about pretending you don’t care.
It’s about understanding the patterns that create pressure, overthinking and self-criticism…
So they stop running the show.
You don’t have to give up your goals.
You don’t have to become less ambitious.
You don’t have to settle for where you are.
You can still want to improve.
You can still aim for your goals.
You can still want to win.
But you can enjoy the journey as well.
Because when you understand yourself better…
You stop fighting yourself.
And when you stop fighting yourself, you start showing up differently.
What's Inside Uplevel Your Riding Mindset?
Across 10 modules, you'll discover why you think, feel and respond the way you do...
And more importantly, what you can do about it.
You'll learn:
1
Why pressure isn't actually the problem
Most riders think they need to get rid of pressure. You’ll discover why pressure is a normal part of riding, competition and growth – and how to navigate it differently.
2
What really happens in your brain under pressure
Ever wondered why you can do something perfectly at home, then it seems to disappear when it matters most? You’ll learn what’s happening in your brain and why it makes complete sense.
3
Why your mind creates stories that feel so convincing
From “I’m not good enough” to “I’m going to mess this up”, you’ll learn why your mind creates these stories and how to stop believing everything you think.
4
The hidden trap of perfectionism
Many people wear perfectionism like a badge of honour. You’ll discover what perfectionism is really costing you and what builds confidence far more effectively.
5
Why feelings aren't the problem
You’ll learn why trying to get rid of nerves, fear or anxiety makes them stronger – and what to do instead.
6
Why overthinking keeps you stuck
Understand why your mind gets caught replaying the past or worrying about the future, and how to bring yourself back to what matters most.
7
How to bounce back faster after a bad ride
We all have disappointing rides, mistakes and difficult days. The difference is how quickly you recover.
8
The patterns that have been running the show
You’ll begin to recognise the patterns that have been operating in the background for years, so you can stop being pulled around by them and start showing up differently.
9
Practical tools you can apply immediately
Each module includes simple, practical tools to help you apply what you’re learning, because knowing something doesn’t create change…
Taking action does.
10
A completely different understanding of yourself
By the end of the programme, you’ll understand yourself, your patterns and your responses in a way that makes everything start to make more sense.
And when things make sense, they become much easier to change.
Because when you understand yourself better…
You start showing up differently.
And that’s where things begin to change.
Learn Alongside Emily & Rhi
Throughout the programme, you’ll be joined by Emily Dobson (EMD Eventing) and Rhi Davies (Riding With Rhi), who share their own experiences, insights and reflections as we explore each topic together.
You’ll hear candid conversations about:
- Pressure
- Perfectionism
- Overthinking
- Confidence
- Setbacks
- The patterns that show up for all of us riders
Because sometimes the biggest lightbulb moments come from hearing someone else describe exactly what you’ve been experiencing.
Their honesty, experiences and reflections help bring the concepts to life and show how this work applies to riders at different stages of their journey.
Because whether you’re competing, having lessons, hacking out or working towards bigger goals…
The mind still does mind things.
