    #208 Feeding Performance Horses: What Most Riders Get Wrong with Rachael Haar

    Equine nutritionist Rachael Haar joins me to simplify what actually matters when feeding performance horses — from forage and hay quality to supplements, gut health, hydration, hauling, recovery, and the nutrition mistakes well-meaning horse owners often miss. Because let’s be honest: horse nutrition can get confusing fast. One person says your horse needs electrolytes. Another says alfalfa makes horses hot. Someone else swears beet pulp changed their horse’s life. Then suddenly you’re standing there holding three supplements, questioning every feeding decision you’ve ever made while your horse licks the salt block and judges you. So today, we’re simplifying all of it. In this episode, I sat down with equine nutrition consultant Rachael Haar from BCS 5.0 Equine Nutrition, and we had such a good conversation about what actually matters when it comes to feeding western performance horses. We talk about hydration, gut health, hauling, showing, topline, supplements, forage, electrolytes, recovery, and how nutrition may be impacting horses that feel hot, dull, inconsistent, reactive, or flat under saddle. This episode felt like sitting in the barn aisle having a really practical conversation with someone who actually understands horses, performance, and real life horse ownership. Rachael does an incredible job making nutrition feel way less overwhelming and way more doable. And if you’ve ever wondered whether your horse actually needs all the things in your feed room right now… this episode is probably going to save you some stress (and maybe some money too). If you or someone you know has benefited from this episode, be sure to tag us @nicoleburnettmentalcoach @resilientreiner and @bcs5.0equinenutrition on Instagram and share this episode with your community! I am curious to hear all about your experience. Also, be sure to leave a review on iTunes to help other riders discover the show! In This Episode You Will Learn: Why most horse owners are overcomplicating nutritionWhat hay testing can tell you about your horse’s health and performanceHow nutrition impacts recovery, energy, consistency, and toplineThe truth about electrolytes, probiotics, calming supplements, omega-3s, and joint supplementsWhy some horses feel hot, reactive, dull, or inconsistent under saddleHow hauling and showing affect hydration and digestionWhy gut health matters so much for western performance horsesThe difference between feeding a lightly worked horse vs. a performance horseCommon feeding mistakes horse owners make without realizing itSimple ways to support your horse’s health without buying every supplement on the marketQuestions I Answer: Does alfalfa actually make horses hot?Are calming supplements worth it?How do you know if your horse’s diet is balanced?What causes horses to feel inconsistent at horse shows?What supplements are actually useful for performance horses?Why do some horses struggle with topline and recovery?What role does hydration play in horse show performance?How can owners support gut health and digestion during hauling and showing?How much forage should horses really be getting?What should owners look for when choosing supplements?Connect with Rachael Haar + BCS 5.0 Equine Nutrition: Rachael Haar is an independent equine nutrition consultant who helps horse owners build balanced, forage-first feeding programs that support long-term health, recovery, condition, and performance. Her approach is practical, science-backed, and incredibly easy to understand — especially for riders who feel overwhelmed by all the nutrition noise online.

    #207 Stop Overspin Penalties for Good

    Overspin penalty. If you’ve ever shown reining—or any western discipline where precision maneuvers matter—you know that feeling. Because it didn’t feel like a disaster. The horse was turning. The maneuver had speed. There was shape. It felt like it might finally be the spin. And then… you went just a little too far. That moment is one of the most frustrating experiences in the show pen. Not because it was terrible—but because it was so close. In this episode, I want to talk about something that a lot of riders misunderstand about spins, timing, and performance under pressure. Because most riders assume overspin penalties mean one thing: They need to practice spins more. More drilling. More control. More trying to catch the stop earlier. But after coaching a lot of western riders—reiners, ranch riders, cow horse competitors, and people riding patterns across different disciplines—I’ve noticed something important. A lot of overspin penalties are not actually spin problems. They’re pressure problems. What happens is riders get mentally ahead of the maneuver. Instead of riding the spin they’re in, they start riding the stop they’re worried about missing. And the moment your brain jumps ahead like that, timing gets messy. Your body tightens. Your cues change. Your horse feels it. In this episode, I’m going to break down the mental pattern behind overspin penalties, why pressure causes riders to rush their timing, and what you can do to stay present enough in the maneuver to actually ride your horse instead of reacting to the mistake you’re afraid of. If you’ve ever walked out of the show pen thinking, “I know I can ride better than that,” this episode is for you. If this episode resonates with you, be sure to tag me @nicoleburnettmentalcoach and @resilientreiner on Instagram and share the episode with your horse friends or your barn crew. I genuinely love seeing where riders are listening from and hearing what clicked for you. I’m always curious to hear how these ideas show up in your riding. And if the podcast has been helpful for you, leaving a quick review on iTunes is one of the best ways to help more riders discover the show. In This Episode You Will Learn Why overspin penalties often start before the spin even beginsThe mental pattern that causes riders to rush timing in spinsWhy drilling maneuvers harder doesn’t always fix the problemHow pressure changes your nervous system in the saddleThe difference between riding the maneuver and riding the mistake you’re afraid ofWhy anticipation is one of the biggest timing killers in western ridingThe subtle ways riders tighten their bodies without realizing itHow staying present improves feel, precision, and communication with your horseA simple mental cue that can help riders stay in the maneuver instead of rushing the finishHow one rider completely changed her spin scores by shifting her mindset Questions I Answer Why do you overspin even when the spin itself feels good?Is overspinning a training issue or a mental timing issue?Why does pressure in the show pen change the way you cue your horse?What causes you to anticipate the stop during spins?Why does trying harder to avoid a mistake often create the mistake?How does tension affect your horse during a maneuver?Why do you perform differently at home versus in the show pen?What role does your nervous system play in timing and feel?How can you stay mentally present during fast maneuvers?

    #206 Why Do I Ride Better at Home Than I Do at Shows?

    Hot take: If you ride worse at horse shows than you do at home… It's probably not a training problem. And I know—that’s not what most people want to hear. Because it’s way easier to go home, work your horse harder, fix the spins, clean up the circles, and tell yourself you just need more reps. But here’s what I see all the time as a mental coach for western riders: You can school your horse at home and feel confident. You can lope off, hit your marks, stay with the feel, and ride like you know how to ride. Then you walk into the show pen… and suddenly everything feels just a little off. Not terrible. Just enough to cost you the run. And that’s the part that messes with riders the most. Because it doesn’t feel like a total breakdown. It feels like you’re almost yourself—but not quite. In this episode, I’m breaking down why that happens, what pressure is actually doing to your riding, and why this gap between home and the show pen has nothing to do with whether you’re good enough. If you or someone you know has benefited from this episode, be sure to tag us @nicoleburnettmentalcoach @resilientreiner and share this episode with your community! I am curious to hear all about your experience. Also, be sure to leave a review on iTunes to help others discover the show. In This Episode You Will Learn: Why riding at home and riding at a horse show feel like two completely different experiencesThe real reason pressure changes your timing, feel, and decision-making in the saddleWhy this is not a sign that you’re underprepared or not good enoughThe difference between a skill problem vs. an access-to-skill-under-pressure problemWhat actually happens in your body and mind when the stakes feel higherHow overthinking, micromanaging, and “trying harder” quietly hurt your performanceWhy your horse can feel different—even when nothing about your training has changedThe subtle shift from riding the maneuver → to riding your fear of the mistakeWhy your home rides are valid (and actually matter more than you think)The perspective shift that helps riders stop spiraling after inconsistent show runs Questions I Answer: Why do you ride better at home than you do at horse shows?Why does your horse feel different in the show pen?Why do you overthink everything once you start competing?Is this a confidence issue… or do you just need more practice?Why can you know what to do but still not ride like myself when it counts?Are you just not mentally tough enough for competition?Why do you rush, hesitate, or second-guess things you normally do well at home?Do your good rides at home even count if you can’t repeat them at shows?

    #205 My Dark Mental Hack to Crush the Competition With Unbeatable Consistency

    Here’s a spicy one for you today… Some riders get their rides done no matter the weather, the wind, the mood, or the million distractions that come with real life. And it’s not because they’re more disciplined, more talented, or blessed with superhuman motivation. It’s because they use one quiet mental trick that keeps their reins in their own hands — not their excuses. And honestly? This trick has saved me more times than I can count. From the nights I’m staring at my boots thinking “absolutely not,” to the weeks where my horse life feels like one long to-do list… this tiny shift has pulled me out of procrastination, off the couch, and back into the identity of the rider I actually want to be. Today, I’m breaking down the simple mental reframe that riders all over the world have used to turn “ugh, I should” into “alright, let’s go.” It’s honest. It’s practical. And it works even on those cold, windy Tuesday nights when motivation is nowhere to be found. If you’ve ever wanted the results — the clean stop, the confident run, the steady mind — but dreaded the ride that gets you there… this episode is going to land hard. If this episode hits home for you, or if you know a rider who’s been stuck in the “have to” mindset, be sure to tag me @nicoleburnettmentalcoach and @resilientreiner on Instagram and share it with your community! I love hearing what shifts for you. And don’t forget to leave a review on iTunes — it helps more riders find these tools. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: The subtle language mistake that makes riding feel like homeworkWhy “I get to do this” doesn’t always work (and what to say instead)The real reason your brain resists riding, practicing, or mindset workHow one flipped sentence lowers anxiety and gets you moving againThe simple daily script that rewires your identity as a riderA live walkthrough of how to apply the “I want to… because…” tool to riding and non-riding tasksWhy this tool boosts motivation even when you’re tired, stressed, or overwhelmed QUESTIONS I ANSWER: Why does “I have to” create resistance in riders?What makes “I want to… because…” a scientifically-backed motivation hack?How can riders reconnect to internal motivation instead of external pressure?What does identity have to do with follow-through and confidence?How do you use this mental tool during busy, stressful, or low-energy seasons?

    #204 You Have to Be Willing to Look Dumb. Kari Klingenberg on Growth, Discomfort, and Better Riding

    Join me for a sit down with Kari Klingenberg—an NRHA Professional, Team USA representative, and reining trainer based at Pinnacle Ranch in Scottsdale, Arizona—who works with horses and riders at every level to build real performance in the show pen. And we got real about what actually separates riders who show up like themselves when it counts… from the ones who feel like everything falls apart the second the pressure hits. We talk about what it really takes to build confidence as a rider, why some riders keep hitting the same wall (no matter how hard they work), and the shift that changes how your horse responds to you in real time. Kari brings a grounded, no-BS perspective from the trainer’s side—developing horses, coaching non-pro riders, and navigating her own path in the western performance horse world. And I think you’re going to feel seen in this one… especially if you’ve ever walked out of the show pen thinking, “I know I can ride better than that.” If you or someone you know has benefited from this episode, be sure to tag us @nicoleburnettmentalcoach @resilientreiner and @kariannaph on Instagram and share this episode with your community! I am curious to hear all about your experience. Also, be sure to leave a review on iTunes to help others discover the show.

    #203 What Most Riders Miss About Horse Nutrition and Conditioning with Bethany Wiley

    Everybody loves to post the clean horse, the shiny run, and the “living the dream” part of life with horses. Meanwhile, somebody’s out in knee-deep mud busting ice out of water tubs, trying to figure out why a horse looks “fine” on paper but still isn’t thriving. That gap right there? That’s where this episode lives. In this conversation, I’m sitting down with Bethany Wiley from Little Red and Her Horses—a barrel racer, horse owner, and barn owner who runs a lesson and boarding program alongside a small breeding operation focused on barrel horses. She’s competing on open horses now with plans to futurity down the road, and she’s deeply committed to doing things right when it comes to nutrition, conditioning, and building horses that last. This conversation pulls back the curtain on the unsexy basics that actually make the biggest difference—feeding programs, forage quality, daily care, and the small decisions that either support your horse’s longevity… or slowly work against it. If you’ve ever wondered whether your horse’s energy, development, or overall performance might be tied to what’s happening outside the arena—not just inside it—listen to this episode. In This Episode You Will Learn: Why the “highlight reel” version of horse ownership leaves out the very things that matter mostWhat forage testing actually is and why it can completely change your horse’s nutrition programHow low-quality hay can impact a horse’s energy, topline, coat, hoof quality, and performanceWhy some horses truly can do well on forage only… and why others absolutely need more supportThe difference between throwing supplements at a problem and building a feed program with intentionHow a nutritionist can help you make better decisions for young horses, broodmares, senior horses, and performance horsesWhy groundwork is still one of the most underrated horsemanship tools in the western horse worldWhat tiny confidence-building steps can look like after a horse scares you or your confidence gets rockedWhy conditioning is one of the biggest missing pieces in barrel racing and performance horse longevityHow consistent care behind the scenes affects soundness, resilience, and long-term success in the saddleWhat it really looks like to care for horses when life is messy, the weather is awful, and motivation is lowWhy owning horses well means thinking beyond the ride and paying attention to the whole horse Questions I Answer What does horse ownership actually look like beyond the fun part of riding?Why do so many horse owners overlook nutrition until something starts going wrong?What are some signs your horse’s feed program might need attention?How do you know when a horse needs more than just 2 flakes of hay and grain by the scoop?What role does alfalfa play in feeding western performance horses?How can horse owners think more clearly about forage, concentrate, and targeted supplements?What should riders watch for when a horse seems off, under-muscled, dull, or not quite thriving?How do small groundwork steps help rebuild trust and confidence with a horse?Why is conditioning such a big deal for barrel horses and other western performance horses?What mistakes do riders make when they expect too much too fast from young horses?How can horse owners stay consistent with care, even when horse life gets chaotic?What lessons from horse nutrition and conditioning apply directly to better horsemanship?Guest Instagram Curious to see more of Bethany’s day-to-day with her horses?

    #202 What Weight Loss Is Teaching Me

    This one is a little different from my usual horse podcast episodes, but if you are a western rider, horsewoman, or busy woman trying to take care of everybody while quietly not feeling great in your own skin, this conversation is going to hit home. I am sharing my personal journey of losing 45 pounds—not as a “here’s the perfect formula” episode, but as a real conversation about what body change actually asks of you mentally and emotionally. Because changing your body is not just about food, workouts, or the number on the scale. It is about identity. Self-trust. Patience. Emotional regulation. Nervous system support. It is about learning how to stay steady when progress is slow, how to stop treating yourself like a problem to fix, and how to build change from self-respect instead of self-criticism. And honestly? That is not all that different from the work we do with horses. If you are used to hearing me talk about resilience in the saddle, mental performance, confidence, and staying steady under pressure in the show pen, you are going to hear those same mental skills show up here too—just applied to health, strength, weight loss, and learning how to feel good in your own body again. If you or someone you know has benefited from this episode, be sure to tag us @nicoleburnettmentalcoach and @resilientreiner on Instagram and share this episode with your community! I am curious to hear all about your experience. Also, be sure to leave a review on iTunes to help others discover the show. In This Episode You Will Learn: Why weight loss is not just a physical process—it is a mental and emotional one tooHow identity work affects body change just like it affects confidence in the saddleWhat it looked like for me to stop trying to “push through” and start actually supporting my bodyThe role sleep, hormones, thyroid health, vitamin D, and baseline lab work played in helping me feel betterWhy walking became one of the most powerful tools in my health journeyHow strength training has helped me build confidence, momentum, and trust in my bodyWhy shame makes change harder—and what helps insteadWhat emotional regulation has to do with food, cravings, consistency, and follow-throughHow all-or-nothing thinking can quietly wreck your progressWhy slow progress does not mean failed progressHow to notice your patterns without spiraling or turning them into a moral issueWhy systems, support, and self-awareness matter more than self-criticismThe mindset shift that made consistency feel easier and more naturalHow this health journey is already helping me feel stronger in my riding and more grounded in my life Questions I Answer: What was going on for me physically, mentally, and emotionally before I started this journey?How did I know I was not just “fine,” even when I was told my labs looked normal?What changed when I started working with a doctor who actually listened?How did walking become such a big part of my weight loss and mental wellness?Why did I hire a personal trainer, and how has strength training helped?What mindset skills from horse riding and western performance apply directly to weight loss?How do emotional regulation and nervous system support affect eating habits and consistency?What do I do instead of spiraling when progress feels slow?How do I stay committed without turning everything into pressure, panic, or punishment?What beliefs have I had to change in order to make this sustainable?What has surprised me the most about this process so far?What do I hope other women and riders take away from this episode?

    #201 Ask These 5 Questions Before You Hire a Mindset Coach for Horse Show Nerves

    Not every mindset coach is built for the show pen. Some will leave you inspired. Some will give you great journal prompts. Some will tell you to “just believe in yourself.” And none of that helps much when your horse lopes through the gate and your brain suddenly forgets how to ride the way it did at home. If you’re thinking about hiring a mindset coach for riding, this episode will help you avoid the biggest mistake riders make when looking for mental performance help—and show you exactly what to look for instead. Because here’s the truth: most riders who struggle under pressure aren’t lacking confidence—they’re lacking a system that works when adrenaline hits. In this episode, I’m breaking down the five questions every rider should ask before hiring a mindset coach for horse show nerves. We’ll talk about how to tell the difference between motivational advice and real performance coaching, why riding great at home but struggling at shows is incredibly common, and what kind of mental training actually holds up in the saddle when it matters most. If you’ve ever wondered whether mindset coaching could actually help your riding—or how to find the right kind of help—this conversation will give you clarity before you invest your time, money, and trust. If you or someone you know has benefited from this episode, be sure to tag us @nicoleburnettmentalcoach and @resilientreiner on Instagram and share this episode with your community! I am curious to hear all about your experience. Also, be sure to leave a review on iTunes to help others discover the show. In This Episode You Will Learn Why many skilled riders still struggle under pressure in the show penThe difference between a skill problem and a pressure problemHow thoughts, nervous system state, and rider identity affect performance differentlyThe biggest mistake riders make when hiring a mindset coachWhy motivation alone doesn’t hold up when adrenaline hitsWhat kind of mental coaching actually works in the saddle, not just in theoryHow understanding your brain’s response to pressure changes the entire gameWhy nervous system regulation is more powerful than “positive thinking”The red flags that suggest a mindset coach might not be the right fitThe green flags that show a coach can truly help riders perform under pressureWhat real mental skill training looks like between sessionsHow repeatable mental reps can help riders stay steady in the show pen Questions I Answer How do you know if your riding problem is technical… or mental?Why do you ride great at home but struggle at shows?What actually happens in the brain and body when pressure hits?Why doesn’t motivational coaching fix show nerves?What should a mindset coach be able to explain about performance under pressure?What kind of tools should work in the saddle, not just in a journal?Why do riders tighten up even when they want to stay calm?What should practice look like between mental coaching sessions?How can riders measure whether mental training is actually working?What questions should you ask before hiring a mindset or mental performance coach?
