What if every ride was a good ride?
With the help of mental skills, it can be done.
Our thoughts influence how we feel, how we behave, and how we ride. Together, we will work to enhance your riding by elevating your mental game, transforming you into the best rider you can be!
Mental Performance Training services include personalized, one-on-one sessions that work towards achieving your unique riding goals through the development and utilization of your mental skills.
Are you ready to take the first step towards unlocking your full riding potential?
How it works:
-
Begin the process by filling out the Discovery Form to receive your personal consultation over your choice of Zoom, phone call, email, or text message.
The very first session includes:
In-depth dive into the performance issue(s) in an effort to understand the root of your mental experiences to implement the best mental skills for you!
Educational portion about the horse and human brains to gain an understanding of what exactly is happening in your brain, why it is affecting your rides, and what we can do to change it for the better!
Your Mental Performance Training Plan maps out what mental skills we are going to implement and their approximate order to work off of in following sessions!
This session will last up to 1.5 hours and will occur over your choice of Zoom, phone call, or in-person.
-
Following sessions directly implement the mental skills from your Mental Performance Training Plan.
We will work towards your desired mental performance goals for riding and work through any current issues you may be experiencing skill by skill.
Regular sessions will last up to 1 hour and will occur over your choice of Zoom, phone call, or in-person.
-
We then put your mental skills altogether in a personalized daily outline for you to follow, whether you are riding at home or competing at a horse show.
The daily outline includes preparation, reset, and recovery steps that will take place before and after your rides.

Single sessions, group sessions, consultation sessions, check-in sessions, workshops, presentations, in-person observations, in-person horse show coaching, and session adjustments are available upon request.
We work to build mental skills just like physical skills, putting in the time, effort, practice, and consistency for desired long-term change. No quick fixes exist in both the physical and mental games; it is a process that requires intentionality, patience, and perseverance.
