HERE’S THE THING…

Horses are your life—there’s no doubt about that. So why spend another year feeling anxious, stuck, or like you’re letting your horse down?

Draw the line in the arena sand—right here, right now!

The two main types of riders I work with?

1. The rider wanting to get back in the saddle

I support riders in returning to the saddle after short and long breaks. Whether due to riding accidents that have created fear around getting back in the saddle or life’s interruptions. With step-by-step guidance and accountability, I teach you the mindset tools to overcome your fears, regain motivation, and bring your horse back into work safely.

2. The competition rider wanting to improve their performance

I use performance coaching tools to help riders enhance their competition results and enjoy the experience. You don’t have to struggle with imposter syndrome, forgetting your test or stress on competition day. By focusing on mental training, body awareness, and horse-rider connection, I empower you to become the best rider you can be.

It’s time to step into confidence, connection, and the joy of riding without fears holding you back!

Let’s get started!

Whether you want to overcome a riding challenge, grow your relaxation and confidence, or take your riding to the next level, there’s a way I can help.

What is Performance Coaching?

Equestrian performance coaching helps riders enhance both their skills and mindset for better overall performance. Unlike traditional instruction, it includes mindset training, NLP techniques, body awareness, horse-rider connection, and goal setting.

Riders develop confidence, focus, resilience, and strategies for handling pressure, overcoming fear, managing setbacks, and optimizing training. Suitable for all levels, from amateurs to elite competitors, as well as pleasure riders wanting to overcome fears and improve their riding.

I'm here to help you...

Connect with your horse, ride in the moment, and improve communication.

Overcome fears, past trauma, and regain confidence in the saddle.

Enhance position, rider aids, and overall riding enjoyment.

Stay focused, manage nerves, and perform under pressure.

Improve competition scores, move up levels, and set motivating goals.

Rider successes!

“Since working with Danielle through performance coaching over the phone, I am now riding with new-found confidence. I can focus on what my horse needs to give her the confidence to relax, trust me, and work well. I have changed so many things with my riding in the last few months.”

TRACEY LYNE
HRCAV & EA Dressage Competitor

“My mindset towards competing has changed so much since working with Danielle. I have a much calmer and relaxed approach on competition day, and if I make mistakes in the test I am now able to move on and focus on the next movement!”

MELISSA TAAFE
FEI Small Tour Dressage Rider

“I got the saddle on and got to sit on my boy. OMG, the nerves, but the breathing exercises seem to put them aside and up I got. It has been 12 months since he has had someone on his back… absolutely amazing! Thank you heaps. Loving the ‘Bringing your Horse Back into Work Riding Plan’!”
