In the second episode of our series on Mindset March, we bring you our panel show ’Not the Plan, Still the Passion’, recorded live at the National Equine Show. Join us as we chat with Saffron Cresswell, a former 4* Event rider and European pony champion gold medallist. In 2024, Saffron suffered a fall at Bramham that resulted in her becoming paralysed from the chest down. Dylan Ward joined us, alongside Saffron. At just 10-years-old, Dylan has huge dreams despite enduring a two year fight to overcome cancer in his pelvis. The treatment left Dylan with life long disabilities. Up until his diagnosis, Dylan had ridden in all disciplines, and now seeks to one day represent Team GB in the Paralympics. Alongside Dylan, we welcomed his mum, Jess Flack, who now campaigns to raise awareness of childhood cancer and supports Dylan in his Paralympic dream. Our conversation tells their stories and how they are triumphing over adversity.

Tania talks ground work, feeding aggression and coming back to competing after a break, and Katie finds this week’s bubbles a little too bubbly!

It’s Mindset March on the pod, and there is no one we’d rather kick it off with than mindset and performance coach Jenni Winter-Leach of Flying Changes Mindset. In this episode, Jenni answers your questions on feelings of failure towards your horse, losing your riding mojo, focus and reframing. It’s definitely an episode that we can all learn from, with plenty of ‘huh’ moments. 

This week’s tack room tipple is a big success, and Katie quizzes Tania on mounting, exciting canters and beginning a new partnership.

If you are a beleaguered equestrian that tends to grown as you get out of bed with every joint aching and sore, or if, like Katie, you have had a career in clock watching while exercising, then this is the pod for you. You may have heard of it, or you may say, ‘Reformer, what?’ but in today’s pod we talk about the new trend sweeping the country as we continue our investigation into riders as athletes. If you’re looking for something that totally supports your body and strengthens all the bits you need to ride, then this is as close to perfect as it comes as today we chat with Cheryl Probin, the woman behind Elevate Reformer Pilates. Being the fair game kind of girl that she is, Tania has a go. Watch our socials for reels on that! 

Also in this episode, Tania talks shoulder in and shoulder fore, returning to riding and trot-canter transitions while Katie sees the benefit of no broadband when the pod moves to the pub!
