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.

    What happens to confidence as we get older? When Your Brain Starts Paying the Mortgage!

    In this episode of Over the Oxer, we explore how confidence changes as we get older and why riding can feel different than it did in your twenties. If you’re an older rider or adult horse rider, this episode is packed with insights on how your brain assesses risk, why adult confidence is selective and context dependent, and how trying to “ride like your younger self” can hold you back. Learn practical tips to work with your nervous system, build calm, sustainable confidence, and enjoy your horse more than ever.

    Chatting with Equestrian and Owner of Epona's Horses, Maha Khallaf

    On this episode, I’m joined by Maha Khallaf from Saudi Arabia, as she shares her inspiring journey back to horses as an adult rider and starting her own equestrian online shop. Maha opens up about stepping away from riding for many years, returning to the saddle during a challenging period in her life, and navigating the mindset struggles adult riders know so well — fear of falling, overthinking, trauma and responsibility. She offers thoughtful insights and why healing the inner child can be key to riding with more confidence and calm. We also explore what it’s really like to ride in Saudi Arabia, including cultural shifts for female riders, air-conditioned stables, riding after sunset in the summer heat, and how the equestrian world there is evolving rapidly. Maha is the founder of Epona’s Horses, an international equestrian brand specialising in custom saddle pads, ear nets, rider and horse wear and therapeutic horse products.   🐎 Find out more about Epona's Horses https://eponashorses.net/ar/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eponashorses?igsh=MWJjcHUzYXF5YjBmcA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr   🎁 Listener Offer Maha is kindly offering Over the Oxer listeners: A chance to win a free saddle pad and ear net (selected colours) - simply email me at info@traceycolenlp.com and I'll add your name to the draw on 31st January 2026 20% off anything else in her online shop - use the code EPNTRCY Contact me  Info@traceycolenlp.com www.traceycolenlp.com   Let's be social! www.traceycolenlp.com www.facebook.com/traceycolenlp.com www.instagram.com/traceycolenlp.com info@traceycolenlp.com

    Chatting with 3 incredible coaches - Sam, Sarah and Jo

    In this episode, I’m joined by three outstanding equestrian coaches — each a highly qualified mindset coach and Master NLP Practitioner — for a fascinating conversation at the intersection of horsemanship, psychology and performance. Dressage specialist Samantha Osborn, a Centre 10 Coach from Somerset, shares her insights into developing mental clarity, confidence and consistency in the arena. Sarah Gowling, BHS-APC and Centre 10 Coach from Northampton, brings a wealth of experience in supporting riders to perform under pressure while staying connected and balanced with their horses. Joanne Hopkins, BHS-qualified and based in Surrey, offers a unique perspective through her specialist work with ex-racehorses and thoroughbreds, exploring mindset approaches that build trust, adaptability and long-term partnership. Together, we discuss how mindset and NLP techniques can transform both rider performance and the horse–human relationship, with practical takeaways you can apply whether you compete, train, or ride for pleasure. This episode is packed with insight, experience and actionable tools for any rider wanting to think better, ride better, and enjoy the journey more.   We mention the 'Hakalau' technique, here's the episode: https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-xi6vq-146519b(August 2023)   Connect with the guests: Sam Osborn - www.osborndressage.com  Facebook: https://facebook.com/osborndressage Instagram: https://instagram.com/osborndressage   Sarah Gowling -  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/share/17Q5UkkApb/   Jo Hopkins - https://www.surreyhillsnlp.co.uk/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/coxlandstud   Contact Tracey 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:   Starts12th January.

    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.
