🐴😂 HORSE PEOPLE ARE A DIFFERENT BREED, AREN'T THEY???

Normal people "I think I'll have a nice relaxing weekend."

Horse people "I've got 47 jobs to do at the yard, no money left, hay in my bra, and I've just spent £80 on something my horse will probably s**t on." 🤦‍♀️🤣

But would we swap it for anything?

Absolutely bloody not! ❤️🐴

Our horses are the reason we're skint, exhausted, permanently muddy and slightly unhinged…

And somehow, they're STILL the best part of our day. 😂❤️

Come on, own up… what's the most ridiculous thing you've spent money on for your horse? 👇🤣

Honestly… the AUDACITY of me making a brew before breakfast. 😂☕️

Apparently I’m supposed to know that breakfast comes FIRST and my caffeine addiction can wait. 🤣🐴

The look says it all… 👀

“You’ve got 2 minutes to put that kettle down and get my food.” 😂😂

Anyone else got one who acts like they’ve never been fed in their entire life? 🙋‍♀️🐴🤣

There are two types of horse women:

✨ The ones who arrive at the yard looking immaculate.

🐴 And the rest of us…

who look like we've fought a hedge and bloody lost. 😂😂

Which one are you? 👀🐴

05/10/2026

The mornings are getting darker. 🌅
The evenings are getting darker. 🌙

You're chasing your tail with work, family, horses, life… and somehow you're supposed to find the time AND headspace to ride. 🤯

And then there's the bit nobody else can see…

THE FEAR. 😰

You might tell yourself:

"I haven't ridden for ages."
"I'm too busy at the moment."
"I'll go when I've got more time."
"I'll do it tomorrow."

But sometimes, underneath all of that, there's another little voice whispering…

“What if it happens again?” 🥺

And here's something I really want you to understand…

❤️ You're not weak. You're not being ridiculous. And you're not “just nervous.”

After a fall, your brain can learn:
HORSE + RIDING = DANGER 🚨

Even when the logical part of your brain knows you're actually okay.

Your brain doesn't just remember the fall as a thought.

Your body can remember it too.

That's why getting back on can trigger things like:

😮‍💨 Shallow breathing
❤️ Racing heart
😬 Tense muscles
🫣 Feeling hyper-aware of every movement
🤢 Feeling sick or shaky
🧠 Overthinking every possible “what if?”

And suddenly…

You don't feel confident.
So you don't ride.

And when you decide not to ride?
You feel a little bit of relief. 😮‍💨

But here's where it gets interesting…

Your brain can interpret that relief as:

“Phew! We avoided the danger.” 🚨✅

And that can actually reinforce the fear.

So next time you think about riding, your nervous system remembers:

“Last time we felt scared… and we escaped.”

And the cycle continues. 🔄

🧠 This is why confidence isn't simply about “being brave enough.”

You can't always think yourself out of fear. Because fear isn't just happening in your thoughts.

It's happening in the communication between your BRAIN 🧠 and BODY 🫀.

So instead of trying to force yourself to suddenly become fearless…

You start giving your nervous system new experiences. 🌱

Small ones.

✨ Groom your horse.
✨ Spend time together.
✨ Do some groundwork.
✨ Lead around the arena.
✨ Stand at the mounting block.
✨ Get on and just walk.
✨ Ride for 10 minutes.

You don't need to go from:

“I'm terrified” 😰

to

“LET'S GO JUMPING!” 🤣🐎💨
overnight.

You build the bridge between the two.

One small brick at a time. 🧱❤️

Because every time you experience something that feels scary and discover that you can handle it, you're giving your brain and body new information:

“I'm safe.”
“I have choices.”
“I can cope.”
“I can do hard things.”

And THAT is how confidence starts to grow. 🌱

Not because the fear magically disappears…

…but because fear stops being the thing making all your decisions. 💪

So if you're struggling to ride right now…

If life is busy…

If the darker nights are making it harder…

If you're still carrying the fear from a fall…

If you keep putting riding off…

Please don't beat yourself up. ❤️

You don't necessarily need more motivation. You might just need to understand what your mind and body are actually doing.

And then start smaller. 🐴

Because getting BACK IN THE SADDLE doesn't always start with getting on.

Sometimes…

it starts with rebuilding trust. ❤️

👇 Tell me honestly… what's holding you back from riding right now?

🕐 Finding the time
😰 Fear after a fall
🧠 Overthinking
🐴 Worry about your horse
💪 Lack of confidence
🌙 Dark mornings/evenings

Drop your answer below. You might be surprised how many other riders feel exactly the same. 👇❤️

29/09/2026

Ok so you used to ride without thinking twice. Right?? 🐴❤️

You’d get on.
You’d jump.
You’d hack out.
You’d ride whatever was underneath you.

Then something happened.

Maybe you fell. 💥
Maybe you got hurt.
Maybe you had a nasty experience.
Maybe you’ve simply been away from riding for too long.

And now?

Your brain knows you’re capable…

…but your body doesn’t feel safe. 😔

That little voice in your head starts...

👉 “What if it happens again?”
👉 “What if I fall?”
👉 “What if I can’t stop them?”
👉 “What if I embarrass myself?”
👉 “Maybe I’m just not the rider I used to be…”

And this my horsey friend is where so many riders get stuck.

Because they think they need to find their confidence again before they can start riding.

But confidence doesn’t magically appear first. ✨

Your nervous system needs to experience safety, control and small achievable actions.

You don't rebuild confidence by forcing yourself to do the biggest, scariest thing.

You rebuild it by showing your brain how to feel safe again...

“Look… I can do this.” ❤️

One tiny step 👣
Then another 👣 👣
Then another 👣👣👣

Until the thing that once felt HUGE starts feeling possible again. 🐴💪

Fear doesn't mean you're weak.

It doesn't mean you've lost your ability.

And it certainly doesn't mean you have to give up the thing you love the most ❤️

So ask yourself…

👇 What is actually holding you back right now?

The horse?
The fall?
Your confidence?
Or is your nervous system simply saying “I don't feel safe yet”?

🐴 THE 60-SECOND RIDER RESET

Before you get on, don't immediately try to convince yourself 👇🏼👇🏼

“I'm fine. I'm not scared. Nothing is going to happen.”

Instead, pause 🖐🏼🖐🏼

Put both feet firmly on the ground

Take a slow breath out....making the exhale longer than the inhale.

Then look around you and deliberately notice:

5️⃣ things you can see.
4️⃣ things you can physically feel.
3️⃣ things you can hear.
Then tell yourself:

“I'm here 👋🏼👋🏼

✅️ I'm safe in this moment.
✅️ I don't have to prove anything today.
✅️ I can take this one step at a time.”

Then ask yourself:

✅️ “What's the smallest thing I could do today that would feel manageable?”
✅️ Maybe it's grooming.
✅️ Maybe it's leading.
✅️ Maybe it's standing beside the mounting block.
✅️ Maybe it's getting on and walking for five minutes.

That counts 💯

Because confidence isn't built by repeatedly throwing yourself into the thing you're terrified of.

It's built through small, manageable experiences that teach your brain and body:

“I can do this.” 💪🏼💪🏼
And then…

“I did it again.” 💪🏼💪🏼
And again.
And again.

Until eventually the thing that once felt terrifying starts feeling familiar.

❤️ You don't need to become the old fearless version of yourself.

You can build a new kind of confidence one based on trust, understanding and knowing how to support yourself when the nerves show up.

If you've lost your confidence after a fall, you're exactly who I created Rider Reset for.

FEAR HOLDING YOU BACK FROM GETTING BACK IN THE SADDLE?

You’re not alone.

I'm guessing you used to ride without even thinking about it right ??? 🤷‍♀️🤔

Hacking out alone.....yep???
Jumping...absolutley 🤪🤪
Going fast....💯🖐🏼
Trying new things....ALL THE TIME 😅👍🏻

❌️ Then you had a fall…… and suddenly everything feels different.

✅️ You still love horses.
✅️ You still want to ride.

📣📣📣But now there’s that really LOUD voice saying:

🤦‍♀️ “What if I fall again?”
🤦‍♀️ “What if I can’t do it anymore?”
🤦‍♀️ “What if I’m never the rider I used to be?”

And honestly? 👇🏼👇🏼

You don't need to force yourself to “just get over it.”

Confidence doesn't come back because someone tells you to put your big girl pants on and be brave!!!

It comes back through small wins, rebuilding trust and proving to yourself that you CAN feel safe in the saddle again. ❤️

I know this because I've been there too.
And that's exactly why I created Rider Reset... to help women riders who have lost their confidence after a fall find their way back to enjoying riding again.

Sometimes you just need to take your foot off the gas....... its been foot to the floor for weeks 🤯 🤯🤯

SO...this weeks a quieter week over here at Rider Reset.

And honestly? I needed it 💯💥

There’s so much pressure to constantly be creating, posting, growing, achieving…....

BUT sometimes the best thing you can do is step back for a minute and breathe ☺️☺️

Especially when you’re rebuilding 💪🏼💪🏼

❌️ You don’t have to ride the way you used to.
❌️ And you definitely don’t have to prove anything to anyone.

👣 Small steps still count.
🤫 Quiet days still count.
😴 Rest still counts.

So if you’ve had a week where you haven’t felt like yourself, or your confidence has taken a wobble…🫨🫨🫨

You’re not behind. ❤️

You’re just taking the time you need. And when you’re ready, you can take the next small step.

That’s what Rider Reset is all about. 🐴✨

FREEDOM in a nutshell......theres nothing quite like clearing your mind and getting rid of any cobwebs then riding in an open field !! 🕸🕸

There’s something about riding across an open field that makes you realise just how much freedom you’ve missed. 🐴🌿

But when you’ve lost your confidence, that same open field can feel VERY different.

The space feels huge 🙄
There’s nowhere to hide 🤦‍♀️
Your horse might feel a little more forward 😅

And suddenly your brain is shouting 🤯🤯🤯

“What if something happens?”
“What if I can’t stop?”
“What if I fall off again?”

So you keep yourself small 🤏🏼

🛑 You stick to the arena.
🛑 You avoid the open spaces.
🛑 You tell yourself you’ll do it when you’re “more confident”.

But here’s the thing right....

Confidence doesn’t usually come before you do the thing.

It comes from doing little things that prove to your brain 🤯🤯

“Look. I can handle this.” 🥳🥳

✅️ Maybe today that means riding to the edge of the field.

✅️ Maybe it means walking around it.

✅️ Maybe it means sitting on your horse and taking a breath while you look at the view ( me right there taking in the view)

And maybe one day…

You’ll realise you’re riding across that open field again, breathing in the fresh air, your horse underneath you, and thinking

“I’m actually enjoying this again.” ❤️

You don't have to become the fearless rider you used to be.

You just need to start finding your way back to YOU.

That's what Rider Reset is all about. 🐴💗

6am No makeup. Hay in my hair. And this one thinks it's appropriate to headbutt me before I've even had coffee 😂

This is the bit nobody puts on the confidence calender 📆.

It's not all breakthroughs and big wins half the time it's just turning up its getting a bit chilly again now as well, giving zero f*%ks 🖕🏼🖕🏼 about how you look, because you love this daft animal more than you love your lie in.

🚫 No fear here. No overthinking. Just me, her, and a personal space violation before 7am 🤣🤣

Some days confidence isn't about pushing through anything. It's just this. Showing up because you want to be here. Even at silly o'clock. Even half asleep.

That's the job. That's the love. That's the fire inside 🔥
