What riders say...

“

I left that start box with a totally different mindset! I felt happy, confident & overall I felt like I could absolutely smash it! And we did!

– Becky

“

Following my cross-country accident two years ago, I often felt really low. I’d lost so much belief in my riding and felt like I was just muddling through. Ahead of an event, I noticed I was feeling really vulnerable and decided to book a session with Nicky.

After that session, I felt absolutely bursting to get out of the start box and be the best possible version of myself that I can be for my horse. I felt a complete switch in my mind. I only wish I’d reached out sooner!

Our coaching session really helped me understand myself better. I still struggle with nerves at times, but now I’m aware of the story I tell myself versus what’s actually happening — that has been a massive game changer for me!

I’ve noticed a real difference outside of riding too and, after handling a difficult situation completely differently, I actually felt braver to ride! Not sure how that works, but I’m sure it’s some of your clever sorcery!

EQUESTRIAN MINDSET COACHING

What if the thing you're struggling with in your riding isn't the real problem?

You can know what to do and still struggle to do it.

You can ride well one day and question everything the next. A mistake can stay with you long after you’ve untacked your horse. You can put enormous pressure on yourself to get things right, worry about what other people think, or find yourself holding back when part of you desperately wants to move forward.

You might think you need to be braver or try harder. But what’s really driving how you feel and how you ride sits much deeper.

The thoughts, beliefs and patterns you’ve developed over years shape how you feel, how you respond and ultimately how you ride.

I help you understand what’s really influencing your riding — because it’s probably not what you think — and, importantly, how to change it.

Nicky, equestrian mindset coach at Be Your Best Yet

Hi, I'm Nicky

I’m an equestrian mindset coach and an amateur rider myself.

I help riders understand why they think, feel and respond the way they do — particularly when nerves, pressure, self-doubt or their own expectations start to affect their experience with their horse.

My approach goes beyond simply building riding confidence or giving you techniques to manage your nerves. It’s about understanding yourself better, recognising the thoughts, beliefs and patterns shaping your riding, and knowing what to do with that awareness.

Because when you change the way you think, you change the way you feel — and that changes the way you ride.
