Equestrian Performance Mindset

Regaining confidence after crashing into a fence - #223


Listen Later

What do you do when a distance doesn’t appear… and everything falls apart right before you go in the ring?

In this episode of the Equestrian Performance Mindset Podcast, I and Lorna dive into a real-life competition moment many riders fear: a jumping warm-up disaster, and how your mental recovery routine determines what happens next.

After a dramatic warm-up moment that ended in the middle of an oxer, I break down exactly how I reset my mindset, rebuilt confidence in minutes, and still delivered a strong round at 1.30m.

This episode isn’t about perfect distances. It’s about trust, focus, and learning how to ride forward after something goes wrong.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

  • Why you should fix your head before fixing your horse
  • How negative self-talk destroys confidence, and how to stop it fast
  • What to focus on instead of distances when nerves take over
  • The power of giving your brain a simple job under pressure
  • How elite riders mentally recover when mistakes happen
  • Why most riders think they’re “bad”, and why that belief is wrong
  • How imposter syndrome and people-pleasing sabotage your warm-up
  • Why you rarely see mistakes on social media (and why that matters)
  • If you’ve ever:

    1. Missed a distance and spiraled mentally
    2. Felt embarrassed after a warm-up mistake
    3. Questioned whether you’re good enough to ride at your level
    4. Carried one mistake into an entire round
    5. This episode will change how you handle pressure, permanently.
