After six weeks not only had I found my mojo with my riding but personally I was kicking goals!!
I learnt how to believe in myself, have trust, acknowledge my failures and successes

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.
Hi Selina,
Thought I’d give you an update on how we’re going since doing the program- not many events due to weather etc, but ventured afar two weeks ago to Nowra for jumping- not only did I drive the truck there and back, but also placed in all classes-
4 & 5 in 90cm and 1st and 2nd in the 100cm- woohoo!!
Always working on my mindset!
Thank you x

Note: Receiving texts like this months after coaching is finished make my day.
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”.

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!!

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.

Selina is really intuitive with where you are at in your life. I’m not talking life stories, I’m talking how you use words and your non verbal communication. Selina listens very well to what you say, and how you hold yourself, then picks up on things that I didn’t even think about. One of the words Selina picked up for me was being free.
There were some pics taken where I thought oh my I have aged and put on the pounds, but the look on my face said it all I looked happy and free. I can honestly say I have never looked at myself looking like that in my whole life.
I know after meeting Selina that some of the areas in my life will improve, and I have been sharing with the world a bit of a different person on the outside.
Thank you Selina, I can honestly say you have empowered me, and I look forward to seeing where this journey takes me.
