5-Day Rider Mindset Audio Challenge

Your mindset in the saddle matters just as much as your mechanics. That’s why we’re inviting you to spend five days with Sport & Performance Psychologist (and fellow equestrian!) Dr. Darby Bonomi for a simple but powerful audio challenge.

Each day, you’ll get a quick, 5-minute audio lesson from Dr. Darby on topics like:

– Setting strong intentions before you ride

– What to do when you’re feeling overwhelmed or burned out

– How to bounce back after a tough ride

– Handling pressure in a way that works for you

Whether you’re competing or just trying to feel more grounded and confident at the barn, this challenge is for you.

Pop in your headphones, hit play, and give yourself five mindful minutes a day.

I am over the moon at my tiny breakthrough tonight with my baby 6 year old.

I let her say no.

It sounds weird to me, because for years I have always rode with the idea of not letting the horse say no. Tonight she did not want to go near a small obstacle she could easily walk over, and instead of fighting her,. We went away worked on other stuff, and then came back to the obstacle and got a little bit closer, when she said no we walked away again. We did this patiently back and forth until she gained enough confidence to easily walk over it, then jump it. Wow!

Brought this former reiner, now jumper, to his first HJ show this weekend. The horse park was sandwiched between an active car racetrack and an airport. It was his first *real* jumper course. As a normally kind of spooky guy, he was not only calm about all the (loud) noise and chaos, he was focused and responsive. My friends say “if you can show at the Evergreen Horse Park, you can show anywhere.” 😆 We’ve done a ton of ground work over the past five months, and I walked him around on schooling day for about a half hour to get him acclimated. It was amazing to see his confidence grow day by day.

William Fox-Pitt, a living legend in the sport of eventing, joins us this week for a wide-ranging conversation on resilience, recovery, and a life spent chasing something deeper than ribbons.

From his childhood on horseback to his first five-star win at just 25, the horses who shaped his iconic career, and the fall that nearly ended it — William reflects on the highs and lows of a lifetime in the saddle, and shares what he’s come to believe really matters in the end.

We were able to catch up on the final last night after coming back from the barn. Road to the Horse 2025 was a master class on what to do and what not to do. Tik demonstrated the balance of how much to push and when not to push to achieve maximum performance on a particular day.

I’m stoked Tik is showing the WESTERN world that natural horsemanship, observation, communication and my favorite.. PLAY are building blocks to success!

I was inspired by Tik this weekend and decided to give clicker training a try with my horse! My timing wasn’t perfect, but overall he really enjoyed it and picked up target work super quickly. It even helped him work through a spook—over a hula hoop, of all things! By the end, he was confidently touching it and clearly proud of himself for earning a click and a treat. We’ll definitely be doing more of this!
