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.

    The Hidden Triggers Behind Riding Confidence (And How to Reset Them)

    In this episode of Over the Oxer, I'm talking about something you’re already using -  whether you realise it or not. Anchors. In NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), an anchor is the link your brain creates between a stimulus and an emotional state. The sound of the competition bell. Walking into the warm-up arena. Even putting your boots on. Some anchors build confidence. Some trigger anxiety. And most of them were created accidentally. In this episode, I explain: – What anchors actually are in everyday life – How riders unconsciously move from anchor to anchor throughout the day – Why certain places, sounds or situations trigger nerves – How strong emotional moments create lasting mental patterns – And how you can deliberately install positive anchors that hold under pressure This isn’t about positive thinking. It’s about understanding how your nervous system naturally conditions responses — and learning how to work with it instead of against it.   If you’ve ever wondered why you can feel calm one minute and tense the next, this episode will make it clear.   ⚓️ And if you’d like to go deeper into installing anchors that genuinely shift your riding mindset, I also share details about my upcoming Anchoring Workshop. https://traceycolenlp.com/mental-anchors-for-better-riding-performance/   👉 Contact me  Info@traceycolenlp.com www.traceycolenlp.com   👉Let's be social! www.facebook.com/traceycolenlp.com www.instagram.com/traceycolenlp.com   🧠Next NLP Practitioner and NLP Coach Training: Starts 18thMay.

    The Finnish Secret to Happy Horses: with Sonja & Katja from Heica Hay Feeders

    In this episode of Over the Oxer, we travel (virtually!) to Finland to speak with Sonja and Katja, the founders of Heica Hay Feeders. Finland is at the forefront of equestrian welfare legislation, and my guests provide a fascinating look at how these new regulations are changing the landscape for horse owners. We dive deep into the philosophy of equine enrichment: moving beyond the idea of "slow feeding" to creating a lifestyle that respects the horse’s natural behaviours. Sonja and Katja share the origin story of Heica, explaining how a search for a better feeder evolved into a mission to provide mental stimulation for horses in stables and paddocks worldwide. In this episode, we discuss: Equestrian Culture in Finland: What makes the Finnish approach to horse care unique? The New Regulations: A breakdown of the latest welfare standards in Finland and what they mean for the future of horse ownership. From Feeding to Enrichment: Why "slow feeding" was only the beginning for Heica. The Psychology of the Stable: How to use enrichment tools to reduce stress and boredom-related behaviors. Innovation in Design: How Sonja and Katja built a brand centred on horse welfare. 👉Heica Feeders website: https://en.heicahorse.com/category/11/heica-feeders    👉Follow Heica 🐎On Instagram (English): https://www.instagram.com/heica_hayfeeders/ [Finnish, Swedish, German and Hungarian channels too]   🐎On Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093350024074   👉 Contact me  Info@traceycolenlp.com www.traceycolenlp.com   👉Mental Anchoring Workshop 19th March 2026 10am-1pm UK time on Zoom.

    Push Harder or Heal Deeper?

    When things go wrong in the saddle, do you push harder… or shut down? This week I compare the powerful (and very different) thinking of Alfred Adler and Carl Jung—and how their ideas can transform the way you handle mistakes, pressure, and ambition in riding. Achievement or healing? Maybe the answer is both.   Mental Anchors Workshop https://traceycolenlp.com/product/mental-anchors-for-riding-performance/   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:   Starts 18th May.
