Breaking the Rules Behind High-Functioning Anxiety

Discover why the same drive that fuels your success can also trigger tension, perfectionism, and self-doubt. Learn how hidden “rules” like I must ride every day or I’m only worthy if I’m busy quietly feed anxiety—and how to rewrite them for calm, confidence, and true high performance in and out of the saddle. ✨ Follow Over the Oxer for more mindset tools and calm confidence strategies for riders.

This episode is all about how to become a "glimmer hunter" and actively seek out these tiny positive moments using all five of your senses.

This episode is a must-listen for chocolate lovers.

Harnessing the Power of Failure in Equestrian Training
In this episode, we delve into the often daunting topic of failure, challenging its negative connotations, particularly in the realm of equestrian training. Drawing from NLP principles, we argue that there is no such thing as failure—only feedback and learning opportunities. Explore how neurochemicals like dopamine and adrenaline play pivotal roles in equestrian training, impacting motivation and learning processes. We examine how these chemicals help repel negativity from setbacks and instead enhance focus, resilience, and skill acquisition.

What if you can't ride? Imposed time off.
Having time off from riding can be potentially disappointing and frustrating and lead to feelings of guilt or being behind schedule. But it needn't be! Having time off may be 1. necessary and 2. beneficial in other ways.
