Want head and heart skills for a trusting, happy partnership?
You can have a riding life filled with clarity, purpose and confidence- and this program will help you have it. JoyRide is an online membership program for big-hearted riders looking to create a meaningful relationship with their horse. Get in charge of your thoughts, master your mindset and your emotions so you can get out there and do what you love together.
We both know that in order to do your horse justice, you have to be able to manage yourself. And not just physically- mentally and emotionally too.
Loving your horse and being a passionate, competent rider is a great start, but it’s no guarantee of a successful partnership. If you don’t have the heart and mind skills you need to be an effective and empathetic rider, you end up in a situation where your thoughts and feelings are controlling you- and not the other way around. And once that train leaves the station, all sorts of things start to happen…
…the “I’m not good enough” thoughts
… feeling as though your goals and dreams are totally unrealistic
…the feeling of stuck-ness or thinking you’ve reached a plateau in your current results or abilities
… fear, anxiety and self-doubt
… the aloneness, and the I’m-the-only-one-feeling-this-way thoughts (heads up, it’s not true. We ALL feel this way at times)
… a feeling of desperation that things aren’t going to change and maybe this is your lot
… feeling frustrated- with yourself, your horse or both
… being over it already
I hear you! The thing is we aren’t trained for this stuff and yet we beat ourselves up when we fall short in practice. What’s here isn’t the same as a riding lesson. The skills you’ll learn in JoyRide aren’t things you’ve picked up at school, or learned along the the way. And yet they’re as vital to you having a successful riding life as breathing air. Without them, you only get so far before you run out of puff.
Time to get the skills that create happy and successful
humans + horses.

So what’s involved?
If you glance to the right (or down below if you’re on a mobile or tablet), that’s the homepage of JoyRide. The courses are grouped into “pathways”, and you make your way through step by step. Even if one jumps out at you, it’s best to do the first three in order.
Why? Well, they’re the foundational stuff. Here’s a brief summary of what’s in them.
The All In Pathway- Whole Hearted Practice
The All In Pathway is about what you can control, what you can commit to and what you can do consistently. It makes sure you’re taking care of the processes that allow for success. If you take care of the process, the results take care of themselves. The All in Pathway let’s you hook into your dream, your mission and how to bring them to life now. And if you aren’t sure what your dream is, don’t sweat it. I’ll help you figure it out.
That’s not the only reason it’s called All In. We don’t want to be totally in our heads about all this. Sure we are going to pay attention to the intellectual side of things, but also to the physical, the emotional and the intuitive. It’s all important.
The Aware Pathway- The Grounding Pathway
This is all about learning to recognise and process your emotions. The last thing we want is a situation where we’re suppressing how we feel or letting our feelings run riot. That’s no good for anyone, least of all you and your horse. Acknowledging how you feel, grounding yourself, setting boundaries, processing emotions and managing your energy are what it means to be emotionally agile. You’ll learn how to do that here.
The Calm Pathway- Managing Anxiety
Worry, rumination, anxiety. Calm will empower you to understand what’s happening when you experience anxiety and most importantly what to do about it. There’s are two main reasons why anxiety kicks in; out of control thoughts, or emotional memories connected to bad experiences (like having an accident). We deal with both of them. You’ll know what to do and how to cope with anxiety in and out of the saddle after this.
The Rise Pathway- Performance Under Pressure
If you find your performance, mindset, focus or nerves suffer when you are riding away from home territory or the pressure is on, this is the pathway for you! Rise will guide you through a comprehensive process to not only manage nerves and anxiety, but to create an individualised mental fitness plan for competition. Not only will you have the skills to optimise your competitive mindset, but the same principles and techniques can be applied to suit your specific circumstances (such as lesson or clinic anxiety, or riding in front of other people). If how to get the best out of yourself under pressure is the question, this pathway is the answer.
You have access to the three foundation pathways and Rise when you join. Brave (Dealing with Fear) and Comeback (Returning from Injury) will added progressively over the next couple of months. As soon as they’re live, they’re all yours too.
The Empowered Pathway is the only one that takes a different format. Once you’ve been a member for 6 weeks, you slot onto this Pathway automatically. What does that mean? It means that at this point, a new lesson on the Empowered pathway opens up to you each week. Empowered is not as specific as the others in that there’s a lot of different topics it deals with; it’s all about creating mental strength, confidence and resilience and helping you maintain momentum along the way.
And if you’re wondering how all this is presented, it’s a mix of video, audio and workbooks. You have full access to the content for as long as you are a member.

What do you get for that?
Skills! The pathways will get your mind and heart in the right space so you feel capable of doing what you need and want to do with your horse. You don’t need to “work anything out”. All the content is organised so you can pick what you want to get started with. It takes you through step by step (literally- it’s all organised into steps). When you sign up, you get all the pathways currently available, plus those about to be added.
If you want to have a good look at what that looks like, check the video below.
The Member’s only Facebook Group. This is huge. You can’t underestimate the value of being surrounded by “your people”. A supportive crew that have your back and rally the forces when need be (which these guys do) is a total godsend. It’s something that I hear comments about all the time from JoyRide Members.
Stable Hours! Stable Hours is our weekly live training session that I run in the Facebook group. You can ask questions you want answered here in the group or shoot them through to me via email. Then, every Tuesday, I go Live in the Facebook Group and we go through them together. If you can’t make it live, the recording stays in the group indefinitely. It’s also put on the Member’s Site so you can watch it when it suits.
Me! This is not an online membership where you are left to your own devices. I really believe that the amount of success that we’ve had in JoyRide is as much about support as it is the content. You are free to ask me questions at any time in the Facebook group. I’m all in when it comes to helping you. If you get stuck or need a hand, you only have to ask.
