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.

    From Queen's Cup to Adult Horse Camps | Lisa Hansford on Confidence, Horses & Finding the Right Partner

    In this episode, I'm joined by Lisa Hansford, founder of ACE Adult Horse Camps and an experienced equestrian with more than 30 years in the saddle. Lisa shares her inspiring riding journey, from competing at Royal Windsor and HOYS to the lessons she's learned from buying both the wrong horse and the right one. We explore how confidence develops over time, why every horse teaches us something, and what inspired her to co-create ACE Adult Horse Camps. Known for their friendly, supportive atmosphere, the camps are designed to help adult riders enjoy their horses, learn without pressure and leave with renewed confidence and lasting friendships. Whether you're returning to riding, building confidence, or simply love hearing authentic horse stories, you'll find plenty to enjoy in this conversation. In this episode we discuss: • Lisa's riding journey and competition highlights • Buying the wrong horse—and finding the right one • Building confidence as an adult rider • Creating ACE Adult Horse Camps • Why a relaxed, welcoming environment helps riders flourish • The life lessons horses teach us If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review and share it with your fellow horse lovers.   👉Contact & Follow Lisa ACE Horse Camps - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61566675358686 Granny in the Saddle - www.youtube.com/@GrannyInTheSaddle2026  https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61585825269615   Somerford Park (where Lisa's camps take place) Holmes Chapel Rd, Brereton Heath, Congleton, Cheshire.

    Lonely at the Yard: When You Don't Feel Like You Belong

    You can be surrounded by horses and people and still feel completely alone.   In this episode of Over the Oxer, we explore what it's like when your yard simply isn't your community.   This episode was inspired by a listener who is finding her yard lonely. There are other people around her, but they don't feel like her sort of people. Moving yards isn't a realistic option, with many yards in her area having closed, and there isn't a riding club nearby. In the UK, we might instinctively suggest joining a riding club or finding a riding buddy. But what happens when those obvious solutions aren't available? We explore: 🐴 Why being surrounded by people doesn't necessarily mean you feel connected 🐴 The difference between fitting in and belonging 🐴 Why your yard doesn't have to provide your entire social life 🐴 How to protect your mindset when you don't particularly click with the people around you 🐴 Finding equestrian connections outside your immediate yard 🐴 The value of online communities and friendships 🐴 Why loneliness can sometimes turn into self-doubt 🐴 How to build a fulfilling horse life even when your yard isn't your social home And perhaps most importantly, we ask: If nobody at your yard ever became your best friend, could your horse life still be fulfilling?   You don't have to force friendships. You don't have to change who you are to fit in. And you don't have to assume that because the people around you aren't "your people", you're the problem. Sometimes your people are simply somewhere else. Join the conversation Have you ever felt lonely on a busy yard? What helped you find your people—or create a fulfilling horse life without them?

    How Does the Horse Feel About This? Chatting with Naomi Ainley

    In this episode of Over the Oxer, I sit down with Naomi Ainley, Head of Animal Management, Equine and Veterinary Nursing at Northumberland College's Kirkley Hall campus. Naomi's career has taken her from riding school pupil to groom, yard manager, biomedical scientist and equine educator, but it's her willingness to question long-held assumptions that makes this such a fascinating conversation. Rather than claiming to be an expert, Naomi believes the real power lies in curiosity and being prepared to ask better questions, admit when we don't know something and continually learn from our horses. We discuss how her team has transformed the way horses are managed and taught at Kirkley Hall by asking one simple question: How does the horse feel about this? Whether you're a rider, coach, owner or simply someone who wants to do better by horses, this episode offers plenty of food for thought about horse welfare, education and the future of equestrianism. 👉Contact / follow Naomi www.linkedin.com/in/naomi-ainley-12858b117     👉Contact me Info@traceycolenlp.com  www.traceycolenlp.com www.facebook.com/traceycolenlp.com www.instagram.com/traceycolenlp.com   🤗Next NLP Practitioner and NLP Coach Training: Starts 7th September 2026.

    In this episode, host Tracey Cole sits down with Cat Carter, a Scottish equine sports massage therapist and the driving force behind Equine Qualifications UK (EQ UK). Cat shares her fascinating journey from buying a "secret horse" as a teenager to taking over the legacy of Lingfield Equine Distance Learning.   Tracey and Cat discuss why education is the ultimate tool for improving equine welfare, the dangers of relying on AI and social media "gurus" for medical advice, and how a revolutionary new mobile app is set to bring trusted, verified equine knowledge right to your fingertips.   Key Takeaways from This Episode The Power of Early Intervention: How recognizing subtle pain patterns can prevent long-term, irreversible damage in our horses. Challenging the Status Quo: Why the phrase "that’s just how they go" is a red flag that demands critical thought and deeper investigation.
