Mindset Tools Every Riding Instructor Needs - #204
Are you a riding instructor; or working with one, and wondering how to get the very best out of your lessons? In this episode, we dive into the essential mental strategies that can transform the way you teach (and learn).
Together with Lorna, we explore why one size never fits all when it comes to coaching, and how awareness, curiosity, and asking the right questions can unlock true progress.
You’ll hear about:
- Why overthinking kills your feel, and how to bring riders back into the moment
- The power of adapting your language to visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learners
- How to use curiosity and questions to build awareness instead of just giving instructions
- Why building trust and rapport is the foundation for lasting improvement
- Practical examples of turning “heels down!” into awareness cues that actually work
Whether you’re teaching riders every week or looking to get more from your own lessons, this conversation will give you practical tools and fresh insights to help you (and your students) develop feel, confidence, and resilience in the saddle.
