Brave in the Saddle, Strong in the Mind
Confidence & Calm for Young Riders
(Aged 11–18 years and their parents)
A 4-Week Online Mindset Program to Help Your Child Manage Anxiety, Overcome Fear, and Thrive in the Saddle and Beyond
Is your child struggling with riding nerves, anxiety, or a loss of confidence?
Maybe they hesitate before getting on their horse or pony.
Maybe competitions, lessons or even fun rides bring more worry than excitement.
Maybe they’ve lost their spark - and no matter how much reassurance you give, it isn’t shifting.
You’re not alone - and neither are they. And most importantly, there is something you can do to help
Introducing The Young Rider’s Mindset Program
A 4-week online course starting in September, designed specifically for young riders aged 11 to 18 years old who want to:
✅ Understand their nerves and fears — without feeling judged or silly
✅ Learn simple, practical tools to feel calmer, braver, and more in control
✅ Rebuild their confidence step by step, at their own pace
✅ Find the fun in riding again — whether they just want to enjoy quiet hacks or feel stronger at competitions
PLUS - as parents you get 4 special live parent learning sessions too so you can help your child and understand what we are teaching them for longer lasting support
This isn’t just about theory or vague ‘mindset advice.’
Your child will learn real, practical tools they can use every day, both in and out of the saddle, to gently rewire the unhelpful patterns their brain has picked up — so they can break the cycle of overthinking, worry, or avoidance for good.
It’s not about pushing through fear or masking the symptoms — it’s about giving them the right support to genuinely feel calmer, more confident, and in control.

What We Cover
Module 1: You’re Not Alone
Understanding nerves, fear, and overthinking — and knowing it happens to even the best riders.
Module 2: You’re What's Happening in My Brain?
A simple, clear explanation of how the brain and body work when we feel anxious or overwhelmed — so your child knows it’s not their fault, and they can start to feel more in control.
Module 3: Your Confidence Toolbox
Real, practical tools your child can use anytime — at home, in school, at the yard, and during competitions. From calming breathing to simple grounding exercises, they’ll learn how to ride through nerves safely and feel more settled.
Module 4: Rebuilding Trust in Yourself
Step by step, your child will learn how to challenge negative thoughts, set small, achievable goals, and rebuild their confidence — whether they’re riding, competing, or just going about daily life.
Module 5: The Pressure Zone
When nerves spike before a show, lesson, or exam, they’ll know exactly what to do. We’ll help them create their own ‘Pressure Plan’ so they can feel calm, prepared, and ready — no more guesswork or panicking in the moment.
This Program is Different —
Because We Work with Both Riders and Parents
One of the most powerful things we’ve learned over years of working with riders is this: parents are often more influential than they realise when it comes to a young person’s confidence, mindset, and progress.
That’s why this isn’t just a course for your child — it’s really two courses in one.
We work with both your child and you, because building real, lasting confidence and calm is a partnership.
While your child is learning simple, practical tools to manage their nerves and rebuild their confidence, you’ll be learning how to support them in a way that feels encouraging, positive, and pressure-free.
You’ll understand exactly what they’re being taught, so you can reinforce it at home and help them grow — not just in the saddle, but in all areas of life.
It’s not about ‘fixing’ your child — it’s about equipping both of you with the right tools, language, and support so they can truly thrive.
When parents and young riders work together, that’s when we see the biggest, most lasting changes.
Parent Support Included
We know confidence and calm don’t grow in isolation — and we know how frustrating it can feel as a parent when you want to help, but aren’t sure how.
That’s why this program includes dedicated live parent sessions, so you:
✅ Understand exactly what your child is learning
✅ Feel confident supporting them at home and at the yard
✅ Learn simple ways to help, without adding pressure or overwhelm
✅ Feel empowered, involved, and supported too
This way, you and your child are working as a team — and you’re both equipped with practical tools that actually work.

Who We Are: About Flying Changes Mindset
At Flying Changes Mindset, we’ve spent years helping riders overcome fear, rebuild confidence, and unlock their potential — in the saddle and beyond.
Our founder, Jenni Winter-Leach, is an experienced equestrian mindset coach with internationally recognised qualifications, and has supported riders of all ages and abilities — from nervous adults who just want to enjoy hacking again, to competitive riders performing at the highest levels including Team GB.
Our programs are based on real, practical tools backed by modern brain science — but delivered in a simple, down-to-earth way that riders can actually use, even when the nerves hit.
For years, parents have asked us: "Can you help my child too?"
We’ve heard you. And this program is our answer.
We know the challenges young riders face today — from competition nerves to the pressure of social media to the simple fear of letting people down. And we also know how powerful it can be when young riders learn to understand their minds, manage their nerves, and feel proud of themselves — both in and out of the saddle.
The Young Rider’s Mindset Program combines everything we’ve learned working with adults, alongside age-appropriate, engaging tools designed just for young people and their families.
