Equestrian Performance Mindset

Ever found yourself halfway around a course and suddenly thinking, “Only five fences to go, just keep the time”, only to realize you're more busy with the resume that with riding your horse? Yeah... same here. In this raw and real episode, I share exactly what happened at my last event when I got caught chasing the result instead of riding to the best of my ability. Spoiler: It got chaotic. I almost missed a fence, scrambled through a combination, and it could've haunted me for weeks. But it didn't. Why? Because I reframed it. Today, I'm walking you through the mindset tool that saved me, and can do the same for you. Reframing isn't about sugarcoating. It's about choosing a story that serves your confidence, your learning, and your future as a rider. Inside this episode: Why focusing on the result sabotages your performance What I learned from almost riding past a jump The three reframes that turned a shaky round into the most valuable ride of the season A mindset technique you can use today to bounce back after a rough round Whether you're prepping for your next step up, doubting if you're ready, or just feeling the weight of perfectionism, this episode is your permission to be human, and your toolkit for becoming a better one in the saddle.

Does your calm, rideable partner suddenly transform into an adrenaline-fueled beast the moment you trot up the centerline at a show? You're not alone! In this episode, Jocelin and Lorna unpack one of the most frustrating experiences riders face: when your horse becomes an entirely different animal at competitions; hotter, stronger, and seemingly tuned out from how they go at home. In this episode you'll learn: How your own expectations could be quietly creating tension in the saddle. Why “riding the horse you have” (not the one from training) is more than a cliché, it's a survival strategy. What happens when you hold your breath… and how it might be unraveling your round. A powerful "hula hoop" mindset to stay focused on what you can actually control. How to redefine success at shows to fuel learning instead of feeding self-criticism. Ways to use visualization and embodiment that go beyond imagining a perfect test, into truly feeling how you'll ride it. Practical competition prep tips to streamline logistics and reduce stress.

Why comparing your progress to the horse's previous rider is unhelpful. How to treat an experienced horse as a new partnership, building The common fears underlying "fear of failure" (judgment, mistakes, etc.). Reframing the idea of "doing the horse justice" by focusing on its well-being. Letting go of external expectations and focusing on your own journey. Recognizing that your internal doubts often drive your external anxieties. Key takeaway from this episode: Focus on your individual journey and goals with your horse.
