Resilient Reiner, Ogden, UT (2025)

11/13/2025

I swear, some days the hardest part isn’t the run… it’s keeping your head straight after the results drop. 😅

You see a score that doesn’t match what you felt in the saddle, and boom — your brain’s off to the races trying to make sense of it.

“Was it me?”
“Was it them?”
“Do I even belong here?”

But the truth is, that’s wasted horsepower. The more you chase what you can’t control, the less of you is left for your horse.

The best riders I know? They don’t fight the politics. They out-focus them.

They show up, ride their plan, and let the noise stay where it belongs — outside the gate.

🎙️ The new Resilient Reiner Podcast digs into this exact thing — staying steady when the field feels stacked.

If you’ve ever walked out thinking, “I rode better than that score shows,” this episode’s for you.

And if you’re ready to start training that steady-under-pressure mindset that your horse can feel every ride, that’s exactly what we work on inside The Mental Gym for Equestrians.

Tell me why the warm-up pen always turns into a soap opera the second placings drop 😅

You know that moment when you know you rode solid… but the score says otherwise?

And everyone starts whispering about who the judge “likes” this weekend?
Yeah, been there. Too many times.

Here’s what I’ve learned:
You can’t fix politics. You can’t control bias.

But you can control your focus — and that’s where the real wins start stacking up.

The riders who keep their heads clear when the pen gets messy?

They’re the ones who last. And their horses can feel the difference.

So swipe through this one 👉
It’s about what really separates the steady riders from the spiral-ers.

🎧 Then, when you’re done, tune in to this week’s Resilient Reiner Podcast —
I’m spilling the truth about competition, how to handle “unfair,”
and what to do when your best ride doesn’t get the ribbon.

And if you’re at that point where you’re like,

“I just want to ride without my brain getting in the way”…
that’s literally what we work on inside The Mental Gym for Equestrians.

Steadier nerves. Sharper focus.

Confidence your horse can actually feel.

Okay this might sound random, but I watched someone in the warm-up pen last week absolutely lose it over a missed lead and I swear I saw my old self in her. 😅

Like… that version of me who used to let one tiny mistake hijack the entire ride.

Hands get tight, brain goes static, horse is like “uhh… what’s happening up there?” 🤠

And it hit me again — every time you ride your plan instead of your frustration, you’re building championship habits.

That’s literally the game.

Not perfect runs. Not “pro-level” horses.

Just choosing to ride your plan when your brain wants to throw a fit.

Because frustration’s loud…but calm focus? That’s quiet power.

🎙️ This week’s Resilient Reiner Podcast breaks it down — how to keep your cool when everything in the pen feels unfair, and how real champions stay steady when everyone else spirals.

If you’ve ever left the arena thinking,
“I rode better than that score shows,”
this episode’s for you.

because the calmest riders are usually the ones who’ve learned to stay that way on purpose. 🐴💭

You know that feeling when the whole warm-up pen feels like chaos—
gates slamming, horses snorting, someone yelling “You’re up next!”—
and your brain’s like, “Cool cool cool… total panic it is.” 😅

Yep, yeppp… been there.

Here’s what I’ve learned after years of chasing that perfect focus:
A calm mind is an unfair advantage.

It’s not luck. It’s not “natural talent.”

It’s a trained skill — the kind that separates riders who react from riders who respond.

Because when your mind’s calm, your horse can finally breathe again.
Your cues get cleaner. Your timing gets sharper.
And the whole run just… clicks.

🎙️ This week’s Resilient Reiner Podcast breaks it all down—
how the calm, composed riders keep it together when everything goes wrong.
If you’ve ever wondered how the pros stay steady when the pressure’s high,
this one’s for you.

here’s what I mean when I say your horse can’t save you.

I don’t care how broke your horse is.

I don’t care if they spin like a reining robot or stop harder than a freight train.

If you fall apart when the pressure’s on?

Even the best horse in the world can’t carry that weight.

This is the part most riders miss.

They think:
“If I just keep training my horse… if I just practice more… the results will show up.”

But the arena has a way of exposing every crack in your mindset.

Pressure shows you where your foundation isn’t as solid as you thought.

I see this all the time—talented riders, world-class horses…

Still walking out of the pen feeling like they blew it.

And it’s never because they didn’t ride enough.

It’s because they didn’t train the part of the ride no one talks about: their mind.

In this week’s podcast episode, I’m telling the truth about why horses can’t carry your confidence for you—and how to finally start showing up like the rider your horse deserves.

The strangest part about riding?

The more frustrated you get, the worse your horse listens.

You know that feeling when your horse won’t respond, no matter what you do?

💥 You ask for a transition, and they resist.
💥 You try to fix their tension, and they just get tighter.
💥 You feel frustration creeping in, so you push harder... and suddenly, everything falls apart.

Because here’s the truth: riding with frustration only creates more frustration.

Your horse doesn’t respond to pressure layered on top of pressure. They respond to clarity, consistency, and control.

Calm, clear thinking is what builds trust.

The best riders? They don’t get stuck in frustration. They know exactly how to reset, re-center, and regain focus-even in the middle of a tough ride.

Because the riders who win in the long run aren’t the ones who try to muscle through their horse’s resistance. They’re the ones who know how to control their own mind first.

You know that feeling—you bobble a lead or knock a pole, and immediately your brain throws a full-blown tantrum:
ㅤ
👎 "You blew it."
👎 "It’s over."
👎 "You always mess up when it counts."
ㅤ
Here’s what I wish someone would’ve told me sooner:
💡 Your brain’s first reaction doesn’t have to be your final story.
ㅤ
Just because you panic in the moment doesn’t mean the ride is lost.
ㅤ
Just because you doubt yourself doesn’t mean you’re not capable.
ㅤ
And just because your brain screams "failure" doesn’t mean you have to listen.
Strong riders aren’t fearless robots.
ㅤ
They’re riders who catch that first wave of panic—and choose to stay locked in anyway.
ㅤ
✅ They reset faster.
✅ They stop letting one mistake turn into a meltdown.
✅ They ride the story they WANT to tell—not the fear their brain tried to sell them.
ㅤ
If you want to ride like a competitor who believes in herself even when things go sideways—you’ve got to train your brain, not just your horse.
ㅤ
And that, my friend, changes everything.

I swear the mental monsters have been louder than coyotes this week. 👻

One minute you’re just brushing your horse… next minute, your brain’s whispering,
“Are you sure you’re ready for that class?”
“Don’t mess it up this time.”
“Everyone’s watching.”

Sound familiar? Yeah — that’s not nerves. That’s one of them.

Every high-performing rider has their own haunted crew and they love to spook you right before a breakthrough.

👉 Swipe through this week’s carousel to meet the five “Spooky Scaries” haunting your mindset and figure out which one’s been hanging around your arena lately.

And if this hits home?

🎧 This week’s Resilient Reiner Podcast episode (Ep. 184) dives deep into these five monsters — why they target riders who care the most, and how to take back control before they hijack your confidence.

The mental monster showed up again today. 👀

Didn’t slam a gate or spook my horse — just whispered,
“Maybe you’re not ready yet.”

That’s how she works. Quiet. Subtle. Familiar.

She doesn’t need a roar when a whisper does the trick.

But here’s what I’ve learned coaching riders through this stuff—
the mental monsters only have power until you see them for what they are.

They feed on your blind spots.

Once you notice them, they fade.

You breathe.

Your horse exhales.
And suddenly, you’re back in the moment again — grounded, clear, capable.

In this week’s Halloween Special of The Resilient Reiner Podcast, I break down the five mental monsters that haunt every rider:
👻 what triggers them,
🎯 why they target you right before a breakthrough,
and 🕯️ how to stop giving them the reins.

It’s your cheat sheet for recognizing those ghosts before they hijack your confidence.

I swear my saddle’s been making weird noises lately.

Not the normal leather creak — more like a whisper that said, “You tired yet?” 😶‍🌫️

That’s when I realized… the Silent Ghoul had climbed on again.

You know her — the one who doesn’t go BOO!
She just goes “meh.” ☠️
She drains your sparkle, makes every ride feel heavy, and convinces you this low-energy version of you is “normal.”

Spoiler: it’s not. 👻
👉 Swipe through this carousel to meet the Silent Ghoul herself and see how she sneaks in — coffee, chaos, and all.

And if you want the full exorcism plan, this week’s Spooky Scaries in the Saddle newsletter spills:
🎯 why she always haunts the hardest-working riders
👻 how she hijacks your confidence mid-ride
🕯️ and how to finally send her packing (no holy water required)

Somewhere between my second cup of coffee and my third spin, my spark flat-lined. 💀

And I realized... the only thing scarier than slowing down is forgetting why I was riding in the first place.

I’d been going full throttle for weeks — new goals, long days, all gas no brakes.

But when everything starts to feel heavy and kinda “meh,” that’s not you being unmotivated…
that’s your brain waving a white flag saying,
“Hey cowgirl, maybe remember this was supposed to be fun?” 🤠

You don’t lose your passion in one big moment.

It fades quietly — between the pressure, the early mornings, and the “shoulds.”

And the fix isn’t more hustle.

It’s remembering what used to make you light up when you swung a leg over that horse.

Inside this week’s Spooky Scaries in the Saddle drop, The Tomb of Burnout, we’re digging up:
🎃 The real reason your spark disappears when you’re doing “everything right”
🎃 How to spot the early signs before your joy ghosts you
🎃 A mindset reset that’ll help you ride alive again (no witchcraft required)

Check out the latest Resilient Reiner Newsletter — your Halloween reminder to stop riding on empty and start riding with heart. 🪦 (link in my bio)

SAVE this for the next time your coffee’s strong but your spark’s weak. 👻

You know what’s actually terrifying?

Not a spook.
Not the gate judge staring into your soul.
Not even that one warm-up rider who refuses to steer. 😂

It’s when everything is FINALLY going well…
and then your brain whispers:
“Heyyyyy… what if we panicked right now?”

Like okay cool — thanks for haunting my confidence mid-circle. 👻

If perfectionism has ever popped up out of the shadows and turned

“Wow, this feels good!”
into
“I should never ride in public again…”

then girl… we have the SAME ghost. 😅

👉 Swipe this carousel to unmask her.

She thinks she’s slick, but we see her now.

And if you want the full ghost-busting kit?

Today’s newsletter is spilling all the spooky tea:
⚰️ Why she shows up when you’re improving
🕯️ How she steals joy without you noticing
💀 What YOU can do to kick her to the hitching post
