Everything is related. Some personal stuff was affecting my riding and with Selina’s coaching I cleared the block and was back to competing my best.
It sounds simple now, it wasn’t simple when I was stuck.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to complete Selina’s course. Both online and live group coaching, packed with useful information, the course is incredibly motivating.
I truly did not expect the self reflection and production of results that I got out of it.
Thank you again and I cannot recommend Selina’s coaching highly enough.

Note: Holly is not an equestrian and participated in one of my 6 week equestrian programs anyway. Her results speak to “what happens somewhere in our life happens other places too”.
had always struggled with imposter syndrome and anxiety leading up to and on competition days, however, it was getting worse and occurring in the lead up to lessons or even just riding with others. I realised I needed help and Selina reached out. Honestly, the program is hard to explain. There is so much information that impacts and relates to people differently. Selina is so insightful and has a wonderful way of challenging your language or thinking in a kind and supportive way. I found I was self sabotaging myself through comparing to others, judging myself and my horse unfairly, and I was scared to acknowledge achievements ( no matter how small).
I discovered that I was scared to actually show up for my horse and myself. What a horrible feeling that would have been for my horses. I now have so much faith and trust in my horse, our connection and training plus feeling so much more confident to acknowledge our achievements.
I am feeling brave and courageous and really looking forward to competing this year. Thank you so much Selina!!
I recommend Selina’s program to absolutely anyone.
I found Equestrian Confidence one day when it flashed up on my newsfeed on Facebook.
It was like it screamed at me from through my phone, everything I was feeling with my horses and horse riding – anxiety, nerves, lack of motivation, where do I begin, all these things were holding me back from following my dreams and I had finally found an outlet that exactly understood all those feelings I was having. And the best part – offered a solution.
Of course, it took me some deliberation to contact Selina, I was having the same discussion and argument with myself that I did when it came to doing something with my horses.
It didn’t take long and I had started my phone coaching with Selina. Looking back on it, all I can say is wow. From the moments that happened in those weeks of coaching, the person who I was and the person I was being, then including so much that was conquered, it has all really altered my life in such a way that I now know that I am living on the path I am meant to be, a life that I had been dreaming of for so long, a life that I want.
I started riding again once I started my calls with Selina. I hadn’t ridden in about 18 months and the horse I brought into work hadn’t been ridden in at least 2/3 years. It was winter so the weather wasn’t great, the days got dark early and I was working full time, all excellent excuses for someone to not want to ride. This did not stop me, I found the motivation and drive that I was hiding in me, I kept riding. My horse was not easy and he tested me a lot. This did not stop me either, I found the courage I had in myself and began to trust my ability and I kept riding.
In 13 weeks, I went from a person who dreamed of riding to becoming a horse rider, competing a horse that had been sitting in a paddock for 3 years to a horse that was now a dressage diva that scored 10’s in his first ever Dressage tests and placed 3rd and 9th out of 40 riders, at a massive, busy competition of 800 combinations over various levels.
My everyday life, relationships, work life have all benefited from Selina’s coaching. I am able to make the right decisions for myself, no matter how daunting it may look at the time I trust myself now, I have motivation and I have courage to make anything I want possible.
Thank you Selina, I will always be grateful for the chapter you wrote into my life.
When I came to Selina requesting coaching five months ago, I’d stopped believing in my long-harboured dreams. I tried to stay positive, but unconsciously I was disassociating myself from people out of shame, I couldn’t be one of ‘them’.
I didn’t know it back then, but Selina’s coaching was exactly what I’d been waiting for. No changes happened overnight, but within a month I had my old flame of ambition back (and a much more mature version of it), and I was amazed at what opportunities were starting to show up when I changed my mindset.
Within two months, I was almost craving situations that I’d find uncomfortable but could give me opportunities, and had secured a sponsorship from a major company – something that a couple of months earlier I wouldn’t have dreamed of. Three months of mindset coaching and I was really noticing a difference in the confidence in the way I trained.
Four months in and I’m totally committed to achieving my dreams, and because I am now the person who ‘can’ put themselves out there, confident that I will!
Four months ago, I felt stuck in a rut, and looked to the future with uncertainty and even anxiety. Now, I’m committed to and excited for the days, months and years ahead. I’m so grateful for my mindset coaching, and the best part is this is just the beginning!
Whether you are struggling to overcome a fear, battling lack of confidence in yourself, feeling a little ‘stuck’, or even feel like you might be responsible for holding yourself back, do yourself a favour and get in touch with Selina. I promise you will be so thankful that you did.

Before attending the Selina’s online program, I felt insecure about myself and my riding. I would often go into a test with a huge amount of nerves resulting in multiple course errors and an often red face. It didn’t matter how often I ran through my test or prepared myself, I just couldn’t get past the fear of failure I held inside.
Fast forward to finishing the course and I now find my nerves have turned into excitement and I am nailing my dressage test and coming out feeling happy. My horse and I have a new lease of our riding life! It’s brilliant, can’t recommend Selina’s coaching highly enough!!

Before mindset coaching Jane said “my biggest challenge is trust and confidence”.
ONE month later she was riding the trails bitless and not even a halter at home.
Her summary of the results: “It was definitely a confidence thing”.
