Do you feel nervous or anxious about riding? Do you worry about falling off, or find yourself playing out worst case scenarios in your mind?
Perhaps you have had a bad experience which has shaken your confidence and is spoiling your enjoyment of your horse.
Or maybe you are fine in familiar territory, but then feel unsure and tense at fun rides or competitions?
Being able to perform at your potential at competitions can feel impossible when you are tense, nervous or anxious.
Would you like to fall in love with riding again, and be free to fully enjoy your horsemanship?
If so, then you’re in the right place!
Our horses mirror us both physically and mentally. So much focus is given to what we are doing physically when we are riding, but what we are doing with our minds has a tremendous impact upon our state, our body and our horse.
It’s been scientifically proven that even just our expectation of an event can have a direct impact upon our horse, which highlights the need to develop our ability to be calm and confident whenever we are in the presence of our horse.
When we are anxious, nervous or stressed, not only are we signalling to our horse that there is danger, but also our bodies are unable to be as calm and flexible as they need to be in order for our horses to move comfortably beneath us.
We need to be calm, confident and capable in order to give our horses the leadership they want and need to thrive.
So how can you change your experience?

Case Study
Victoria Maw – GB International Dressage Rider and UKCC Level 3 Dressage Coach
“To find someone like Sam to have on your Team is just brilliant!
I thoroughly enjoy the skills Sam has given me to become a better self. Not only can I use these skills for my horses when at home/training or shows, but I also find myself using them in my everyday life, to have a better mindset and focus on what is important.
I can’t thank Sam enough!”
Case Study
Rachel Clyde – AA Eventer
“I’m a training level AA eventer that came to Sam after struggling with confidence to move up levels. Working with Sam over the past 6 months or so has allowed me to take a different perspective toward higher pressure environments.
I recently went back to a venue I haven’t been to for 2 years because of how busy the environment was. Last time I was there I had a nasty fall due to my horse being very distracted. My trainer couldn’t come, I switched classes minutes before I got on, I couldn’t find my horses bonnet, there was a trainer there watching that I really respect and I was doing everything by myself. All things that would’ve really stressed me out in the past.
None of these things distracted us and we came out of the show as reserve champion. I was very proud of my horse and really felt like I could attribute the progress to my enhanced mental state. This particular example is from a jumper show, but all the things I mention are transferable to all of my rides.
Highly recommend Sam for show nerves, anxiety and practical tools to handle what comes your way at shows and in life.”

Your Mind Coach
Samantha Shanks-Husbands. Dip.Hyp, HPD, MUKHC
I train people to harness the power of their mind to achieve their goals. Horsemanship is my personal passion, so I specialise in working with riders to develop their confidence and self-belief. In fact, the reason I originally trained as a Mind Coach was because of my own personal experience of overcoming my anxieties to completely transform my relationship with my horse.
