SOME KIND WORDS FROM PREVIOUS CLIENTS

I had a pretty nasty fall in 2019 (a 6 months off work brain injury type affair), and it was Janine who made it possible for me to ride and jump again. The fall happened while jumping, and although I returned to riding, I initially thought I would leave jumping behind. Janine was incredible—not only was she kind, but she also employed various NLP techniques to help rebuild my shattered confidence. Each session, we spent time discussing my equestrian mindset, focusing on both cognitive and emotional aspects, and how they influenced my actions on and off my horse. These performance coaching sessions were truly transformational; they started with baby steps, but soon I was not only jumping again, but I also joined clinics and XC sessions throughout the year. It brought real joy back to my riding. Now, four years later, I still apply the techniques and processes that Janine taught me—just yesterday, on New Year's Day, I was enjoying popping fences with my Andalusian horse, Pablo. If Janine hadn't helped me, I would have been trapped in a cycle of fear regarding my riding instead of relishing the thrill of confidence and the fun of being in my happy place with my horse! Thank you, Janine xx

“Booking a mindset training course focused on equestrian mindset has been one of the most valuable investments I’ve made in my riding journey. Like many riders, I’ve explored a wide range of techniques and approaches over the years, including various NLP techniques, but none have had the lasting impact that this performance coaching has provided. It has helped me quiet the overthinking that often creeps in and instead approach my riding with greater clarity, calmness, and focus. Interestingly, this shift in mindset has also positively influenced my horse, who is noticeably more relaxed.

One of the most beneficial outcomes has been the structure it’s given me—I now have a clear goal set for the year and a practical, month-by-month plan to support steady progress. While the training certainly helped me manage a particularly tough morning at a recent dressage competition, its greatest impact has been in the everyday gains. These include recognizing that my first outing of the season was not only successful but enjoyable, catching myself confidently riding one-handed on a loose rein instead of gripping both reins and the neck strap, and looking forward to my first cross-country outing of the year rather than dreading it.

The improvements have been many, but perhaps the most meaningful one is this: I am genuinely enjoying my riding again. For any rider looking to enhance their experience both in and out of the saddle, I couldn’t recommend this approach to performance coaching more highly.

I had a lesson last night, and during my lesson, my horse spooked and took off down the school at a canter. It came out of nowhere! I wasn’t frozen with fear; I was just worried. Thanks to some NLP techniques I had learned, something helped me manage my emotions and stop myself from going into the fear zone, and I was able to regain control and stop him. I can tell you that before adopting this equestrian mindset, I would not have reacted this way. In the past, I would have gotten off and cried, potentially skipping the rest of the lesson, or I might have frozen with fear and fallen off. Instead, I continued the rest of the lesson feeling alright. Normally, I would have been an absolute bag of nerves after that experience. I definitely would have gone into that fear zone before using performance coaching strategies.

After a few sessions with Janine, I've become a convert to NLP techniques. Experiencing a jumping clinic or a dressage competition with an equestrian mindset that includes zero nerves, zero anxiety, and no self-criticism is truly a revelation. To enjoy my horse and my riding without any worries about others in the warm-up is worth more than all the tea in China! This performance coaching has transformed my approach to riding.

From being reluctant to approach my horse after a bad fall to regaining my confidence to ride again within my boundaries, Janine's performance coaching utilizing equestrian mindset principles and NLP techniques has truly been life-changing. I can't thank her enough.

Your help is not only life changing for those with an equestrian mindset but also transformative for life in general, especially when combined with NLP techniques and performance coaching.

Janine is absolutely brilliant. In just a few months, she has transformed my equestrian mindset from walking hand-in-hand around the school, dreading to actually get on, to completing my first cross poles clinic in several years. I now almost look forward to schooling! Her common sense approach, combined with NLP techniques and an empathic understanding, fits perfectly with me and my pony. I highly recommend her performance coaching.
