✔ You love your horse, yet your stomach tightens at the thought of getting on
✔ Riding used to be your happy place, and lately it feels like hard work
✔ You have been told to “just push through”, and it has not helped
✔ You wonder whether the confident rider you once were is still in there
Nerves like these are your body doing its best to keep you safe. There is a calm, kind way to work with them, one small step at a time.

Send Me the Free EbookHello, I’m Margie Riley
I am a lifelong horsewoman and rider-confidence coach. Over the years I have produced young horses and thoroughbreds off the track, show jumped to Grand Prix level and evented to a high standard.
I have also had to find my own way back more than once, after falls, difficult horses, back surgeries and cancer treatment. So I understand how it feels when riding stops being easy, and I know there is a way through.
I will never push you or tell you to “just get on with it”. We go steadily, at a pace that suits you and your horse.
