All equestrians want to harness mindset know-how and learn the ease of successful riding. On this podcast, I’m demystifying the mind, delving into the best of mindset and debunking myths for equestrians and horse owners. Mindset is the key to solving a host of problems that manifest when we ride, including riding anxiety, self-doubt, limiting belief, imposter syndrome, overwhelm or perfectionism. As an accredited Trainer and Master Coach of NLP and Hypnotherapy, I’ll lead you through the solutions that work for me and my clients.

    Feeling Time-Poor? Here's how to stretch time!

    As we come to the very last episode of 2025 (and honestly, where did that year go?), I wanted to slow things down a little and end the year with something genuinely useful. In this episode, I explore why time can feel as though it’s racing away from us and, drawing on psychology and NLP, I share three simple, practical techniques you can use to change your experience of time—without adding another thing to your already full day. These are quick, realistic tools you can slip into everyday life, whether you’re at the yard, at work or juggling everything in between. It’s a reflective end-of-year episode designed to help you feel calmer, less rushed and more in control of your time as we head into the new year.

    Chatting with British flat racingJockey, Georgia Dobie

    In this week’s episode, I’m thrilled to be joined by rising British flat jockey Georgia Dobie. At just 26, Georgia has carved out an inspiring career in one of the toughest and most competitive corners of horse racing — and she’s still only getting started. From leaving home at 16 to train at the British Racing School, chasing her dreams across the UK and even to Australia, Georgia shares what it’s really like to make it as a professional jockey — the early mornings, fitness routines, the drive to succeed and the pressure of riding for multiple trainers across the country. We dive deep into her journey from pony racing to riding winners on the flat, how she handles the mental and physical demands of racing and the camaraderie within the jockey community. Georgia also gives us a rare insight into juggling the jockey lifestyle with life off the track, staying focused under pressure, and what’s next for her in the 2026 season and beyond. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to ride at the heart of British racing with grit, heart and unwavering passion — you won’t want to miss this conversation. 🇬🇧🏇   Follow Georgia https://www.instagram.com/georgiadobie/   Follow Equestrian R Infinity (Georgia is their jockey) https://www.instagram.com/eqr.infinityltd/ https://www.facebook.com/EquestrianRInfinity   Contact me  Info@traceycolenlp.com www.traceycolenlp.com   Let's be social! www.facebook.com/traceycolenlp.com www.instagram.com/traceycolenlp.com   Free mental imagery / visualisations (no sign-up necessary) https://traceycolenlp.com/free-mental-imagery-recordings/   Free Words Have Power course (no sign-up necessary) https://traceycolenlp.com/free-course-your-words-have-power/   Next NLP Practitioner and NLP Coach Training: Starts 12th January 2026.

    When Calm Feels Strange: Retraining Your Mind to Stop Worrying

    On this episode of Over the Oxer Podcast, I dive into the endless loop of worry, anxiety, and chaotic thinking that can follow riders both in the saddle and in everyday life. I'll explain why your mind might unconsciously prefer familiar patterns of stress over calm — and how this learned “worry equals safety” mindset can affect your nervous system, your riding, and your horse. You’ll learn: Why your brain prioritises familiarity over logic and how that fuels anxiety How chronic worry can subtly influence your body, focus, and even your horse’s behaviour Simple yet powerful exercises to retrain your nervous system so calm truly feels safe How to bring this mindset into the saddle for more relaxed, confident riding Whether you’re battling persistent “what if” thoughts or just curious about the mind-body connection in equestrian performance, this episode will help you understand and begin to shift the patterns that hold you back. 🎧 Take a few minutes to breathe, reset, and explore how calm can truly become your new default.   Contact me  Info@traceycolenlp.com www.traceycolenlp.com   Watch on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@traceycolenlp2086   Let's be social! www.facebook.com/traceycolenlp.com www.instagram.com/traceycolenlp.com     Next NLP Practitioner and NLP Coach Training: Starts12th January.
