I knew something had to change in how we help riders work with their mind instead of against it.....

BUT TO GET THERE WE NEED TO LEARN HOW GET OUR BRAIN TO WORK FOR US NOT AGAINST US......

I ride and produce horses myself. Now in my late 40s I still showjump to GP having evented in a previous life and done performance classes and working hunter showing. I origionally started studying Sports Psychology to help myself as I always knew my head was holding me back and the thinks I learnt changed not just my ride but my life. I have struggled with serious injuries, come back after childbirth run a large yard and competed at a high level so whatever you are struggling with we can change it together.

Don't let your head hold you back anymore take this short Quiz to find out how we can work together to help you become the rider you want to be........

Be BRAVE. Be BOLD. Be BETTER
