Have you ever struggled with your confidence when riding?

Today I speak to Aaron Cork who is an equestrian mindset coach, who helps riders become more confident, and deal with any mindset problems that they are having so that they can start to enjoy their horses again.

She speaks about her own experience and when working with a counsellor she noticed the one thing they couldn't really help her with was when it came to talking about her horse

How its often not the horse that is causing the issues but something deeper

We also speak about First Hurdle which she recently launched because she noticed that while it is very common to have mental health services for staff in corporate businesses, it's not there at all in Equine businesses

How the Equestrian industry likes to follow the line of "well we've always done it this way"

The staffing shortage in yards and the rise of free-lance grooming

That we should want the best for our horses so why should we not want the best for the staff looking after our horses, if they are not being looked after how can we expect to give the best care to our horses?

She also says at the end that it is very important to talk to someone if you are struggling, if you can't talk to a friend or family reach out to a professional.

Aaron also gives a brilliant piece of advice at the end of the episode which she got from her mum.
