The Confident Rider Podcast
The Confident Rider Podcast is for big-hearted equestrians looking to create meaningful relationships with their horses. My work explores nervous system support through movement, education, and biomechanics, and helps riders transform into responsive, adaptable, and confident horse people, living their dreams with their horses. Join me to explore the wisdom of our body & mind, through personal stories and conversations with other riders out there creating their best riding life.
Episodes
A little while back, I got to chatting with Lee McLean. At the time, I'd just released a conversation about the things I turn to when the world feels hard or tense, and we were discussing how the lessons we learn with horses often translate into everyday life. I found the conversation so engaging that I asked her to come on the podcast so we could share our thoughts with all of you.
For tho...
A few days back, I wrote a list of things that I had mused on, read, or noted down to consider when the world feels hard or tense.
I shared it first on Facebook, and then when the time came for our live Q&A in my membership program, JoyRide, I decided to share it there as well.
Today's episode is a repeat of that conversation. It's neither conclusive nor definitive, but I think gives us some ideas that we can hold close to inform ...
Lovely friend, this is the final session in our Christmas Conversations series.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has joined us for the live sessions, and to my incredible guests who given so much love and energy to our time together. I am so grateful to you all.
Today, I am joined by an incredible group of women: Tania Kindersley, Kathy Price and Stevie Delahunt.
I'm sure you will enjoy this conversation as much as any other,...
Fabulous souls, we are back with our second to last Christmas Conversation and it's another (christmas) cracker (I couldn't help adding that in there).
I'm so blessed to be joined by the wonderful trio that is Kimberly Carter, Brigid Piccaro & Terry Kuebler. In all truth, I don't know how to reduce the vast expanse of ground we covered over the course of our time together, so I will leave you to listen to it instead!
I hope you enj...

For the month of December, I've gathered together some of my favourite people for a Christmas Conversations Series including my three incredible friends who joined me today- Karen Rohlf, Kathleen Beckham and Barbra Schulte.
Together, we answered the following questions:
What have you held close this year?
What has anchored you?
What are you being called towards?
What would you like to share?
Hand on heart, I think this is one of my...
When I was considering what overwhelm feels like as an experience in the body, the image that came to mind was one of foggy, misty cliffs; a landscape where we are aware of what lies in front of us but where the weather patterns at play are preventing us from getting a clear sense of the path that we should follow and the direction we should head.
In other words, the experience of overwhelm is immobilising and removes us from the a...
What does it mean to begin?
What gets in the way of us beginning again?
How can we approach beginning with tenderness?
This episode is a contemplation, meditation on beginnings; on the challenges we face, the stories we tell ourselves, beginning as an art in and of itself.
I hope you find it useful in some way,
xx Jane

Since the Western States Horse Expo, Barb and I have spent a lot of time chatting on zoom about life, horses, and the universe. Inevitably, there are many crossovers in our work; patterns and experiences we come across that inform how we approach things, beliefs and understandings that we witness either support people moving forward, or conv...
Over the course of 3 days at the Western States Horse Expo, I presented a series of one-hour presentations that spanned everything from returning from injury, to processing big emotions, to looking at the way the nervous system affects our biomechanics. My designated area was the Mind, Body, Spirit tent, one of 3 presentation and seminar ten...
Lovely people, it felt a little strange to just roll into the next episode of the podcast without mentioning what I'd been up to the last little while. I considered sitting on my lonesome and giving you a debrief (**yawn**) and then had the most excellent idea to contact some of my people and see if they wanted to join me too.
With that in mind, with me today is Cutting Horse Royalty, Human...
Based on a blog that I wrote this morning,
that I share out loud with you now.

Modern understandings of anatomy and physiology have allowed us to know our body and mind in ways that have not understood previously. Whilst this is a blessing that sees both horses and humans able to function in a way that maximizes health and wellness, we have to take care that the same information that seeks to liberate does not become r...
I found out recently that the phrase "heart on your sleeve" is, in part, from Shakespeare's play Othello-- we have just conveniently lopped off the other half of the sentence which goes on to say "…for the daws to peck at".

Lovely people, I'm back-- Both on the airways with the Confident Rider Podcast more generally speaking, and with two of my favourites, the incredible Tania Kindersley and Kathy Price. If you are familiar with our catch ups from the past you will know that the usual format runs to something like the following:
"When the old patterns arise, I will dissent. When life convinces me, it is something to be endured rather than enjoyed, I will dissent.
And I will show up here, and I will write about it, as a reminder to those wanting to hold hands and do the same."
