Mental preparation is often foremost in our minds for a balanced riding mindset, but how important is mental recovery after the ride? I'm exploring why mental recovery is just as important as the preparation and another piece in the jigsaw puzzle to being the rider you want to be.

On this episode I'm chatting to Emma Keyworth, a 30 year old Veterinary Nurse and grassroots rider, who owns 2 lovely grassroots horses, Prince, a Traditional Cob and Charlie, a Welsh Section D. After break from horses in her early twenties due to illness, she is making up for lost time and loving every minute of it! She predominantly competes at UA SJ events with Charlie and UA Dressage with Prince, whilst juggling two jobs, horses, chronic illness and a little something called a social life!    We had a blast talking about the set-backs that Emma has overcome and her infectious optimism is definitely infectious - have a listen!   Follow Emma on Instagram: @Adventures_ofabaldequestrian https://www.instagram.com/adventures_ofabaldequestrian

Is it worth being grateful and practising gratitude? Does it actually do anything scientifically proven for your mind? Well, in fact, it does. It does more than make you feel there are others worse off than yourself.....it gives you a dopamine hit and much, much more of the things we riders need!   Thanks so much to everyone who has 'bought me a coffee' (or tea in my case) that's been lovely and keeps me making these episodes!

Scarcity mindsets are created out of a fear of losing something - money, time, opportunities. As riders, the perception of having no money or time or that others get all the opportunities is common. However, the opposite of scarcity is abundance and it is not something we acquire; it's something we tune into.   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   Buy me a cup of tea!

Today we're exploring the intriguing concept that not getting what you want can be a blessing in disguise - and even more than that, can be the start of a whole new, better chapter.

Carol Dweck coined the terms 'fixed mindset' and 'growth mindset'. It's very easy for equestrians, striving to achieve their targets, lapse into fixed mindsets. You'll know it when you experience it - errors become huge disappointments and frustrations, you see failure at every turn. But growing into a growth mindset is easier than you think!   If you'd like to have access to my Ride Confident self-paced online course with a 50% discount, go to https://traceycolenlp.com/ride-confident-in-the-2020s/ and scroll to the bottom 'sign me up' You;ll be taken to the course, type in RIDE50 to enjoy your discount (Usual price £99).   You can contact me at info@traceycolenlp.com and take a peek at my website here https://www.traceycolenlp.com

Time Line Therapy®️ doesn't necessarily mean therapy and can be extremely useful to riders. Can you imagine emptying your emotional baggage without having to talk about your past? Can you imagine how much lighter and more positive you'd feel and how much more you could do physically?    Timeline work is gentle and deep and helps riders to put their energy into their riding, rather than holding onto old emotional episodes, trauma or limitations. But, more than that time line work is about getting those goals and becoming more resilient and mentally stronger.   If you'd like to know more, you can contact me via email or social media:   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

As equestrians, we mostly have to get up early. How do you find it? Are you a morning lark or a night owl? Chances are that if you're an owl, you'll feel a begrudging obligation to haul yourself out of bed every morning. Whereas the larks are fine with it.  Can owls change? Should they? Are larks really at an advantage? Actually they are.

Cantering fears are one of the most requested aspects of riding that I deal with in client sessions. Here are a few tips and tricks to help you prepare and go on to cantering confidently! (Please ensure you have the right level of riding ability to canter the horse you choose to canter and that you wear appropriate head protection and a back protector. I'd advise cantering with a qualified instructor too.)   For mechanical horse sessions in Staffs, Cheshire and Derbys contact Emma Stamenkovic on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=emma%20stamenkovic For Hakalau (peripheral vision) see: https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-xi6vq-146519b  For visualisation tips see: https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-8ed4g-144b048   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

Today, I want to have a little bit of a journey into our brain. In fact, I want to look at a little part of the brain called the hippocampus because our hippocampus has so many things to do with riding - memory, memorising, learning, 3-D spatial awareness and even processing emotions linked to memories.

Anticipatory nerves are so common amongst sports people and equestrians are no exception.

At some point, we all feel life is a little overwhelming and chaotic. Did you know that this point can be incredibly transformative? It may be uncomfortable whilst you're in the mire, but it can cause a change in our neurology that sparks a whole new way of thinking - and at a higher level.

Have you heard of the Flow State? A state where you are at peak performance and completely in the zone? You're optimistic and focussed without effort. How can you attain this state?
