This is not just another episode, this is a milestone moment. Join me as I take you behind the scenes of one of the most significant events in my riding career: my debut at 3* eventing with my 7-year-old horse, Echo.

What started as a distant dream becomes a breathtaking reality, and in this special documentary-style episode, you'll experience the week with me, from nervous packing to the elation of crossing the final finish line.

You'll hear:

• Why I chose Maarsbergen for my first 3*, despite it being known as a huge and demanding track
• How I handled mindset wobbles, doubts, and the pressure of stepping up a level
• What it was like riding the bold and sassy Echo through dressage, show jumping, and cross-country
• The unexpected lessons I learned from two poles down in the SJ, and why it was exactly what I needed
• The emotional highs of going clear cross-country, and the deep appreciation for the community around me.

We don’t have the perfect starting point, the perfect style, or the perfect horse. But we get the job done, and that’s what makes it so special.

Whether you're dreaming of your first 3*, battling self-doubt, or needing a reminder that progress is possible no matter where you're starting from. this episode will hit you in the heart.💚 Real. Raw. Inspiring.

In this empowering episode, we dive into one of the most common fears holding ambitious riders back: the fear of not seeing a distance, and what it really means when you're scared to step up a level. Whether you're hovering at 1.10m and terrified of even thinking about 1.15m, or constantly waiting to feel "ready" before pushing yourself forward, this conversation is for you.

We unpack:

• Why fear of failure (and not fear of injury) is usually what’s really holding you back
• The illusion of perfection, and how chasing it keeps you stuck
• What to do when fear is real (like after a fall), and how to work through it safely
• The mindset shift from “Ready, Aim, Fire” to “Fire, Aim, Ready”
• Why confidence is not a precondition to action, it’s a result of taking it

💬 Plus, we share our personal stories, mindset hacks, and a serious call to action: if this episode lights a fire under your saddle, let us know! We want to hear from YOU.

If you're tired of feeling like you need to “see every stride” before you move up, if you're stuck in the loop of waiting until you feel confident, or if you're comparing yourself to a mythical perfect round, you need to listen to this episode.

Ever found yourself halfway around a course and suddenly thinking, “Only five fences to go, just keep the time”, only to realize you’re more busy with the resume that with riding your horse?

Yeah... same here. In this raw and real episode, I share exactly what happened at my last event when I got caught chasing the result instead of riding to the best of my ability.

Spoiler: It got chaotic. I almost missed a fence, scrambled through a combination, and it could’ve haunted me for weeks. But it didn’t. Why? Because I reframed it. Today, I’m walking you through the mindset tool that saved me, and can do the same for you.

Reframing isn’t about sugarcoating. It’s about choosing a story that serves your confidence, your learning, and your future as a rider.

Inside this episode:

• Why focusing on the result sabotages your performance
• What I learned from almost riding past a jump
• The three reframes that turned a shaky round into the most valuable ride of the season
• A mindset technique you can use today to bounce back after a rough round

Whether you’re prepping for your next step up, doubting if you’re ready, or just feeling the weight of perfectionism, this episode is your permission to be human, and your toolkit for becoming a better one in the saddle.
