    Episode 12 - BWRT with special guest Kate Osmaston

    In this episode of The Outside Rein Podcast, we’re joined by Kate Osmaston, BWRT Advanced Practitioner. Together, we talk about riding confidence, anxiety and the way our brains can work against us as riders. Kate shares her journey back to riding following a serious car accident and tells her how losing all of her confidence eventually meant that she discovered Brain Working Recursive Therapy (BWRT). She explains how it works and how it is different from more traditional talking therapies. She then explains how she now uses it to support riders dealing with competition nerves or fear following falls. She even tells us about a case study of confidence loss that seems to have appeared from nowhere. Of particular interest to co-host Nat, we all have a chat about why anxiety can become such a difficult cycle, the difference between managing an anxious response and addressing the trigger behind it. Kate has worked with happy hackers to elite competitors and has found it often lurks in the same spaces! Kate also talks us through what someone can expect from a BWRT session and why the approach can often involve relatively few sessions. If you’ve lost confidence after a fall, find yourself catastrophising before you ride, struggle with competition nerves or just want to understand more about how our brains influence our behaviour around horses, this is a fascinating conversation.

    Episode 11 - An Overdue Catch Up!

    🎙️ WE’RE BACK! And we have a LOT to catch up on… It’s been four whole weeks since our last episode, which means Nat and I have accumulated a frankly ridiculous amount of life and horsey nonsense to talk about. 😂 This week on Outside Rein, we’re having a proper catch-up — everything that’s been going on in our personal lives, what’s happening with our horses, training, competing (or not), the highs, the lows and probably a few questionable decisions along the way. No big topic. No expert guest. Just two grassroots riders having an overdue natter about what we’ve been up to — and, as always, saying the things that other riders are probably thinking but don’t always say out loud. So grab a coffee, put your feet up and come and have a catch-up with us. 🐴☕️ Outside Rein — honest conversations with grassroots riders.

    Episode 10 - Competition Survival Tips

    After an 18-month break from competing, Nat is finally heading back into the show jumping ring... and, unsurprisingly, the nerves have decided to make a comeback too. This week, we have an honest chat about competition anxiety, the pre-show overthinking, and all the little things that can turn an exciting day into a stressful one. We share the survival techniques we use to keep the nerves in check, stay focused, and most importantly, actually enjoy competing. Whether you're returning after a break, gearing up for your first competition, or you're a seasoned rider who still gets butterflies every time you unload the horse, this episode is full of relatable stories, practical tips, and a reminder that competing should be fun. Because the only thing that should be knocking poles down is your horse... not your confidence.

    Episode 9 - An interview with Tor

    This week the tables have turned... After last week with Nat being on the receiving end of the questions, it's now Tor's turn in the hot seat. From horses and coaching to the stories behind the business, Nat digs into Tor's equestrian journey... before throwing in a very Nat-esque question that nobody saw coming. And if you've listened to previous episodes, you'll know Tor famously persuaded Nat to share the badger story. Well... revenge is a dish best served on a podcast, and Nat makes sure she gets her own back! Expect plenty of laughs, horse chat, questionable decisions, and the usual chaos you've come to expect from Outside Rein.

    Episode 8 - An Interview with Nat

    This week, we turn the tables as Tor puts co-host Nat in the hot seat! From horsey hot takes and riding mishaps to a few questions that have absolutely nothing to do with horses, nothing is off limits. We chat about the experiences that have shaped Nat as a rider, some of her biggest opinions, plenty of laughs... and yes, we finally get that much-requested story out of her! If you've ever wanted to get to know the voice behind the mic a little better, this is the episode for you. 🎧 Expect plenty of laughs, a bit of chaos, and a few surprises along the way. As always, we'd love to hear your thoughts! Leave us a review, share the episode with your horsey friends, and follow us on social media to keep the conversation going.

    Episode 7 - Biomechanics (and more) with Denise O'Reilly

    This week on the podcast, I’m joined by Denise O'Reilly – riding centre owner, biomechanics specialist, and passionate advocate for understanding how horses and riders move together. Denise shares her journey through the equestrian world, from her own riding background to developing a deep interest in biomechanics and rider performance. We discuss how her willingness to question traditional methods and ask the questions that "shouldn't be asked" challenged accepted thinking and helped shape her approach today. We also dive into the realities of creating lasting change in our riding, why building new habits can be so difficult, and practical strategies for improving both rider awareness and effectiveness in the saddle. Whether you're interested in biomechanics, coaching, rider development, or simply love hearing from people who aren't afraid to think differently, this is a conversation packed with insight and plenty of food for thought. 🎧 Tune in to hear Denise's story, her perspective on learning and change, and how asking better questions can lead to better riding.

    Episode 6 - Mental Health in the Equine Industry

    ⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussion of mental health challenges, including personal experiences that some listeners may find distressing. Please listen with care and seek support if needed. In this honest and deeply personal episode, Nat shares her journey with mental health and the role horses have played throughout it. We explore the unique relationship many equestrians have with their horses, how the equine world can provide comfort, purpose, and healing, but also how it can sometimes add pressure, stress, and emotional challenges. Nat opens up about her own experiences, reflecting on both the positive and difficult aspects of navigating mental health while being involved with horses. Together, we discuss the importance of recognising when we need support, breaking down stigma, and having more open conversations about mental wellbeing within the equestrian community. This is a heartfelt conversation that many riders will relate to, whether you've experienced mental health struggles yourself or want to better understand those who have.
