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.

Who knew chocolate could help your equestrian mind game?
This episode is a must-listen for chocolate lovers. We're exploring how dark chocolate can do more than satisfy a craving—it can enhance cognitive performance, reduce stress and support learning, all backed by research from Loma Linda University. Drawing on findings from a 2018 brainwave study and a 2016 paper published in Appetite, we unpack how 70% cacao dark chocolate increases gamma brainwave activity linked to memory and focus, and supports neuroplasticity and mood regulation. You'll learn how to apply these insights directly to your riding routine—whether you're memorising a dressage test, walking a jump course, or reviewing a round. Practical, evidence-based, and a little indulgent—this is mindset coaching with a scientific twist.
Papers used in this episode
2018 Loma Linda Study (Berk et al., Experimental Biology): 48 g of 70% cacao dark chocolate enhances gamma brainwave activity, neural gene expression, and reduces inflammation and stress.
2016 Loma Linda Appetite Study (Crichton et al., Appetite): Regular chocolate consumers demonstrated better visual-spatial memory, working memory, and cognitive function overall.
