Performance Coaching to help you ride and compete with confidence GET YOUR COMPETITION CHECK LISTNOTE: This website is currently being updated, sorry about any inconvenience
Are you struggling to stay focused and relaxed in your rides?
Whether riding at a competition or at home, it can be challenging to put self-doubts and nerves aside and ride in the moment…
You feel like your letting your horse down and running out of time
You play the negative what-ifs over and over in your head
You get so nervous you make your horse tense or misbehave
You suffer from impostor syndrome and doubt your abilities
Dressage Plus uses Performance Coaching techniques to teach you the tools to overcome the challenges holding you back in your riding so you can create change and experience the success you dream of, along with that magical connection with your horse every ride.

Hi, I’m Danielle.
Think of me as your personal Performance Coach and I’m here to help you overcome your challenges in your riding and achieve your potential with your beautiful horse.
By creating a supportive and encouraging coaching space to make positive changes possible.
Because when you feel confident in the saddle you can enjoy every ride and go to your happy place with your horse.
Who are the two main types of riders I work with?
1. The rider wanting support to get back in the saddle:
I help riders get back in the saddle after long or short breaks.
Whether you have had a riding accident that has created fear around getting back in the saddle, or life has gotten in the way. I provide step-by-step support and accountability, teaching you the mindset tools to overcome your fears, find motivation and set achievable goals.
2. The competition rider wanting to improve their performance:
I use performance coaching tools to help riders improve competition results, move up the levels, and most importantly empower riders so they enjoy competing!
I focus on mental training, body awareness, horse-rider connection and goal-setting to help you be the best rider you can be.

“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.”
“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!”
“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’!”
What is Performance Coaching?
Performance coaching in the equestrian world focuses on helping riders improve both their riding skills and mental game to enhance their overall performance. It is a tailored approach that goes beyond traditional riding instruction by incorporating mindset training, NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) techniques, body awareness, horse-rider connection and goal setting.
Performance coaching helps riders develop confidence, focus, resilience, and strategies to handle competition pressure. It also works on overcoming fear, managing setbacks, and optimising training routines. This type of coaching is valuable for riders at all levels, from amateurs to elite competitors, as well as pleasure riders wanting to overcome fears holding them back and be the best rider they can be.
