Resilient Reiner, Ogden, UT (2025)

07/31/2025

Ever had a ride where everything felt just a little off—and suddenly it spiraled fast?

Yep. Been there!

And what I’ve learned (the hard way) is that it’s not the spook, or the missed lead, or the noisy warm-up pen that wrecks your confidence…It’s the mental tailspin after.

This carousel breaks down the thing no one talks about when it comes to riding under pressure—why trying to force the ride is actually what’s draining you… and what you can do instead.

👉 If you’ve been riding through tension, pressure, or that “why isn’t this working?” feeling…SWIPE through this one.

It’s gonna hit home in the best way.

🎧 And if this hit something in your gut, don’t miss this week’s podcast.
We go even deeper on how radical acceptance can change your entire ride.

Here’s what I mean when I say “radical acceptance.”

It doesn’t mean you lower your standards.
It doesn’t mean you give up.

It means you stop draining yourself trying to force a moment to be something it’s not.

Your horse spooked.
The pattern went off-track.
The ride didn’t match the plan.

Okay.

Now what?

The second you stop resisting what’s happening! You free up the mental energy to actually ride through it.

🎧 That’s exactly what we’re digging into on this week’s Resilient Reiner Podcast.
I’m breaking down why most riders burn out not from the ride, but from the emotional pressure they pile on top of it.

I keep coming back to this question, over and over again:
What would happen if you stopped trying to fix the ride and started leading it instead?

Your horse is tight.

Your plan’s already out the window.

And instead of riding what’s in front of you, you’re stuck fighting what you wish was happening.

That’s not leadership. That’s mental overload.

But the second you accept what is—you unlock options.

And that space? That’s where your power actually lives.

🎧 In this week’s episode of the Resilient Reiner Podcast, we’re talking about radical acceptance and why most riders burn more energy resisting the ride than riding it.

The worst thing than a bad ride is trying to force a good one.

You had a plan.

But your horse showed up with a different agenda.

And instead of meeting the moment…
you fought it.
Tried to fix it.
Pushed harder.

Not because you’re not capable, but because somewhere along the way, you were taught to force your way through instead of adjust.

Here’s the thing I see all the time:
The riders who make the fastest progress aren’t the ones who control everything.

They’re the ones who know how to lead themselves when things go off-script.

🎧 In this week’s episode of The Resilient Reiner Podcast, I’m digging into what radical acceptance actually means—and how it can save you from spiraling every time your ride goes sideways.

This mindset shift changes everything.

Let me explain… when riding feels like something you have to survive, not something you enjoy, that’s not just a horse problem, that’s your nervous system trying to keep you safe.

Janessa, one of our incredible clients, knew her horse was solid.

She had the training, the tools, the time in the saddle…

But it still felt like every ride came with tension, overthinking, and that bracing-for-impact feeling.

So we did the work.

Inside Resilient Reiner Academy, we untangled the old mental habits and rebuilt her confidence from the inside out.

Then in Mental Gym for Equestrians, she trained her focus and nervous system response—until calm became her default.

Now? Riding feels like her.

It’s lighthearted. Joyful. Fun. And hers to own.

If you’re doing all the right things and still feel stuck in survival mode… that’s the sign it’s time to train your mind, not just your horse.

The truth is you don’t need a perfect ride. You need the mental tools to stay steady when things go sideways.

One of our incredible clients, Janessa, used to feel like every unexpected moment threw her off for the rest of the ride.

If one thing went wrong, the spiral started—and it was hard to stop.

But now? The same things might still happen.

The difference is she doesn’t unravel when they do.

She’s calm. Clear. Present.

And that shift didn’t happen by accident—it happened because she trained her mind, not just her horse.

In Resilient Reiner Academy, we got to the root of her mental pressure and rebuilt her confidence from the inside out.

Then inside Mental Gym for Equestrians, she got the reps in—learning how to reset mid-ride, stay focused under pressure, and actually enjoy the moment again.

This is the kind of transformation most riders don’t even realize is possible—until they live it.

You can’t muscle your way through a mindset problem.

And one of my incredible clients, Janessa, will be the first to tell you that.

She tried the tough-it-out route.
The “just ride more, push harder, act like it’s fine” route.

But deep down? She was second-guessing everything.
Her skills. Her instincts. Whether she even belonged on a horse.

What changed it all?
Not more hours in the saddle.
Not another training drill.

Inside Resilient Reiner Academy, she finally got the tools to start building her own unshakable confidence and stop being her own worst critic. She started showing up and owning her achievements.

Then in Mental Gym, she trained her nervous system to get out of survival mode, reset when the pressure kicked in and released limiting beliefs to stop holding herself back.

That’s when the shift happened:
She stopped riding from fear—and started riding with clarity and confidence.

Now? She rides out on her own. Leads trail rides. Feels carefree and joyful with her horse.

And she does it with steady confidence, not shaky “hope this goes okay” energy.

You just need to stop battling your brain like it’s the enemy.

You can have everything “right”… and still feel like something’s wrong.

I’ve seen it again and again—riders doing all the right things on paper but still carrying pressure that makes riding feel heavier than it should.

One of my amazing clients, Janessa had it all: a good horse, supportive barn, lessons on the calendar.

But when she came to me, she was mentally drained.
Riding didn’t feel fun anymore. It felt like pressure.
Like she had to be perfect… or else.

We started in Resilient Reiner Academy, where we peeled back the layers to see what was really running the show:
Old mental habits.
Unspoken pressure to be "perfect".
A nervous system stuck in “what if” mode.

Once we named it, we got to work rewiring it.

Not with fluff. Not with fake positivity.

But with a foundation built on clarity, awareness, and real mindset tools she could lean on.

From there, she stepped into Mental Gym for Equestrians, where we trained her mind like a muscle.

She practiced staying grounded when her thoughts raced.
She learned how to calm her body before a ride even started.
She visualized the outcome she wanted—and actually believed it was possible.

Today? She rides solo. She laughs in the saddle again. And most of all, she trusts herself to handle whatever the ride throws her way.

That’s the power of true mental performance work.

It’s not just about “confidence.” It’s about peace. Ownership. And finally feeling like your riding reflects the rider you know you are on the inside.

Let's address the elephant in the room - It’s not always your riding that needs work, sometimes it’s the way you talk to yourself about your riding.

That was my client, Janessa’s story.

She spent years thinking the problem was her seat, her timing, her cues…

But the real weight she was carrying? Was in her own mind.

When she came into Resilient Reiner Academy, we focused on rebuilding her confidence from the ground up. Not with fake positivity—but with tools to actually trust herself again.

To stop second-guessing everything.
To quiet the mental noise and ride with clarity.

Then in Mental Gym, she started showing up differently. She learned how to stay grounded in real time.

How to reset quickly when doubt crept in.
How to keep her cool and focus when the ride got sticky—without spiraling.

Today?

She’s no longer trying to “prove” anything in the saddle.

She’s riding with presence, lightness, and a kind of quiet confidence that lasts.

Riding doesn’t have to feel like a mental tug-of-war.

You can actually enjoy it again.

And Janessa’s living proof of that.

07/16/2025

Truth bomb: You can have the right horse, the lessons, and the love for riding… and still feel totally disconnected.

Not because you’re ungrateful.
Not because you’re not trying hard enough.
But because your mind isn’t on your side yet.

Janessa felt that way when she started coaching with me.

She had everything in place—except trust in herself.

What we worked on together inside Resilient Reiner Academy and Mental Gym for Equestrians wasn’t about “fixing” her.

It was about helping her feel safe in the saddle again.

Focused. Present. Like the version of herself she wanted to bring to her horse.

Today? She rides solo. Leads trail rides. Laughs. Breathes. Connects. She feels carefree.

It’s not about perfection. It’s about finally feeling like her riding matches who she really is.

Someone asked me the other day, “Is it selfish to still want the win—after everything I’ve already given?”

I’ve coached a lot of riders through this.
They’ve raised the colts.
Shared the tack.
Cheered from the rail while someone else got the buckle.

They’ve been the one who steadied the nerves, fixed the hair, and said, “You’ve got this” when they weren’t even sure they did.

They’ve made room for someone else’s victory.

And somewhere along the way…they started to feel like maybe that was all they were meant for.

Let me say this clearly:
You can be the reason someone else wins—and still deserve a win of your own.

This week’s episode is for the rider who has given so much and is starting to wonder if it’s still okay to want something for themselves.

🎧 If that’s you—this episode will ground you, stretch you, and remind you of what’s still possible.

It wasn’t always this way… you whisper quietly...

You didn’t notice it at first.
The shift from being the one to beat to being the one who holds space for everyone else to rise.

And if you're honest? It stung a little.

Because there can be grief in growth.

You’re still burning with drive, but suddenly you're also the support system, the mentor, the steady one.

The fire didn’t leave.

It just got quieter.
Wiser.
Stronger.

This week’s episode is for the riders in that chapter.

The ones still dreaming but doing it while carrying the weight no one else sees.

This one’s not about stepping back. It’s about stepping into something deeper.

A kind of leadership that doesn’t chase the spotlight—but makes real impact.
