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 the most amazing clinic today with Selina. Learnt so much both for the horse I took to the clinic but also for the youngster at home. Thank you so much Selina for your wisdom and advice, appreciated more than you can know. Feeling so much more confident and connected to my horses!

Hi Selina, I DID IT!
I took the horse I’ve started to a campdraft, my goal I set last year at the clinic. Achieving his goal I place solely on you, the guidance and direction you gave me by actually writing down realistic goals, breaking it down and giving me a timeline. It stuck with me. It made it real, achievable and my god, I DID IT!
By Sunday afternoon I was absolutely buzzing with a mixture of pride, adrenaline and love for my new little horse and myself.

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.
I don’t think I can put a value on Selina’s mindset coaching.
It’s priceless. You just don’t get that from any clinic that you go to. Everyone can be taught to ride better, but without the right mindset it doesn’t make a difference. My competition nerves were crippling. No matter how much more I learnt or practiced, it all fell apart when I rode into the camp / arena.
Since coaching I have won and placed and made women’s finals for ABCRA. That’s good, but what matters to me is I having fun again, even at competitions.

After 6 years of playing polo I was looking for a new discipline for myself and my horses. Terrible nerves whilst competing at shows and a feeling of not really fitting into what I was doing had left me feeling lost and disenchanted…. fast forward after mindset coaching – I no longer feel embarrassed that we have tried so many different disciplines – I feel proud that I gave them a shot and that my horses acquitted themselves well. I no longer feel like I “have to” aim for something in particular and “should” be going to every event – should has gone from my vocabulary!
I am enjoying my horses and the things we do – I have opened my eyes and embraced a new sport which I totally love and have found the feeling of community and belonging which Selina had identified was missing from my horse activities. I now feel excited for the future and am so grateful to Selina. I still get nervous heading to a show or event but it’s more in anticipation and excitement than stupid overwhelming nerves.
