Riding Confidence and Equestrian Performance Mindset Coaching
I help horse riders release fear, strengthen their mindset, and deepen their partnership with their horse - so they can ride with confidence and achieve their goals.
My personalised 1:1 online coaching sessions focus on helping you shift unhelpful emotions, build mental strength, and ride with calm focus. I’m so confident in my abilities, if you don’t achieve the results we agree on within our set timeframe, I’ll continue working with you until you do.
In my online group coaching sessions, you’ll not only improve your understanding of your horse and your groundwork and riding skills, but also gain confidence in making decisions, advocating for your horse, and trusting yourself. You’ll also be part of a supportive community where it’s safe to share your challenges and celebrate your wins.
About Confident Horsemanship
My coaching is different. There’s no judgment, no force, and no fear. My focus is always on the wellbeing of you, your horse, and the results you want.
With more than 35 years’ experience as a riding coach and horse trainer, I combine:
- Proven mindset techniques (NLP and hypnosis)
- Evidence-based equine behaviour
- Force/fear-free training methods
This unique approach helps you become the confident, capable rider you dream of being - while enjoying every ride with your horse.

With more than 35 years’ experience as a riding coach and horse trainer - and as a recovered anxious rider myself - I know first hand what it takes to overcome fear or nerves so you can ride with calm focus and confidence.

My clients describe me as empathetic, caring, and encouraging - and above all, a trusted mentor who helps them get back their joy for riding.

We had an awesome ride!
Just wanted to let you know I just finished up riding tonight and we had an awesome ride! Thank you so much for your help.
Michelle A. - MA, USA
Through working with Anne, I gained insight into several issues that had been troubling me (not just with horses!), and achieved a resolution that brought peace of mind. And, I gained some useful approaches to handling whatever pops up next!
Cathy James - UT, USA
My low level anxiety ballooned after suddenly losing my beloved gelding. I was shattered. I was worried I wouldn't be able to ride comfortably again. Since working with Anne, I've got a new guy to love and we're growing together every week. Thanks, Anne for being part of my journey!
Jennifer Preston - ON, CA
Even after one session I was able to banish the fluttery nerves
Leigh Royden - dressage rider
As I dressage rider, I suffered from anxiety after a bad fall a few years ago and with my new (-ish) horse who was often spooky and anxious. Anne helped me re-connect with my confidence using straightforward exercises in visualization and relaxation techniques, and some mild self-hypnosis. Even after one session I was able to banish the "fluttery nerves" and became more relaxed and better able to help my horse with his anxiety. The results of working with Anne far surpassed my expectations and helped in the show ring too.
