Over The Oxer
All equestrians want to harness mindset know-how and learn the ease of successful riding. On this podcast, I’m demystifying the mind, delving into the best of mindset and debunking myths for equestrians and horse owners. Mindset is the key to solving a host of problems that manifest when we ride, including riding anxiety, self-doubt, limiting belief, imposter syndrome, overwhelm or perfectionism. As an accredited Trainer and Master Coach of NLP and Hypnotherapy, I’ll lead you through the solutions that work for me and my clients.

Complaining damages your brain!
Tuesday Jul 16, 2024
Tuesday Jul 16, 2024
Did you know that complaining damages your brain (according to a Stanford University study). How many times do equestrians complain? About the weather? The mud? The horses? Other people? I'd say that we complain quite a bit. Let's explore what it does to our brains and how to stop it.

When one door closes....
Friday Jul 12, 2024
Friday Jul 12, 2024
'The only thing that's constant is change'. Horse ownership and equestrianism are full of plans and goals; however, change happens and as such, this means that certain goals have to be abandoned and some projects collapse. How then can we work towards building resilience in these cases? How can we really start to believe that as one door closes, another one opens?
In a week or so, I'll record my 100th episode! This will be a chance for you to ask your mindset questions and also be in with a chance to win a free Zoom session with me!(Ts & Cs at the end) Simply contact me by one of the means below:

Who's the imposter?
Tuesday Jul 09, 2024
Tuesday Jul 09, 2024
Equestrians frequently experience imposter syndrome. Whether it's through moving up the levels, moving to a new yard or beginning to compete, it's a widespread set of thought patterns.
On this episode, I'm chatting about imposter syndrome, but in a special way! I'm weaving in some nifty NLP techniques to loosen your mind's thinking subconsciously, challenge whether you really are an imposter and whether your mind could be open to trialling new thoughts.

Let go of the hero mindset
Tuesday Jun 25, 2024
Tuesday Jun 25, 2024
Do you find yourself in hero mindset?
I sometimes try to be “Hero Tracey” and this is the mindset where I try to make everything go right – I feel responsible for holding everything together for people, horses and projects. The hero mindset may make us feel good, but the downsides for us and those around us far outweigh the upsides.

Sue Connolly turned to NLP and mindset following a riding accident and unable to ride confidently anymore. We chat about her pre-mindset days when she would fake a hack or face the fear and feel dreadful. She explains how knowing and using NLP helped her become the hunter instead of the hunted.
Sue is funny, down-to-earth and empathetic - have a listen, I'm sure you'll really enjoy listening to her story and insights.

Chatting with Equestrian Mental Fitness Coach Maria Jeffers
Tuesday Jun 04, 2024
Tuesday Jun 04, 2024
Isn't it great when you chat with someone and you're both on the same wavelength? That's what happened when Maria Jeffers and I recorded this episode.
Maria helps equestrians develop mental fitness so they can enjoy their riding and make progress. She is a horse rider who has battled with negative thoughts and emotions that have hindered her own progress and enjoyment. She used to become anxious before and during lessons, worried about forgetting my course/making mistakes in competitions and even who was watching! She says that even when she looks back on her professional career, she can see how the same negative thought patterns used to sabotage her.
Contact Maria

Special offer
Maria says that listeners can complete a free short assessment to identify their negative thought patterns and she is offering a free virtual saboteur discovery call. Go to her website to find out more www.mentalfitnessforequestrians.co.uk

Mental recovery - as important as mental preparation
Friday May 31, 2024
Friday May 31, 2024
Mental preparation is often foremost in our minds for a balanced riding mindset, but how important is mental recovery after the ride?
I'm exploring why mental recovery is just as important as the preparation and another piece in the jigsaw puzzle to being the rider you want to be.

Chat with Emma Keyworth aka Adventure of a Bald Equestrian
Tuesday May 21, 2024
Tuesday May 21, 2024
On this episode I'm chatting to Emma Keyworth, a 30 year old Veterinary Nurse and grassroots rider, who owns 2 lovely grassroots horses, Prince, a Traditional Cob and Charlie, a Welsh Section D. After break from horses in her early twenties due to illness, she is making up for lost time and loving every minute of it! She predominantly competes at UA SJ events with Charlie and UA Dressage with Prince, whilst juggling two jobs, horses, chronic illness and a little something called a social life!
We had a blast talking about the set-backs that Emma has overcome and her infectious optimism is definitely infectious - have a listen!
