This week on Over The Oxer, I’m joined by the wonderful Alex Fleming, someone I’ve known and admired for several years now. Alex helps horse riders train their brains for confidence, trust and enjoyment in the saddle, and in this conversation we go deep into the real psychology behind confidence, mindset and performance with horses.

Alex shares her journey into the horse world, from starting at a riding school with no horsey background, to working in racing, becoming an instructor and eventually moving into psychology, NLP and hypnotherapy after experiencing a profound loss that shook her own confidence and identity as a rider.

This is a powerful and honest conversation about confidence, nervous systems, kindness towards ourselves, and why mindset work is not a luxury in riding – it’s essential.
