Over The Oxer

A trigger is something that sets us off, usually in a negative way, bringing back an unpleasant memory or emotion that demands our attention. Our brains are naturally biased toward negativity. The great news is that there is a way to rebalance that bias. It's all about glimmers.   This episode is all about how to become a "glimmer hunter" and actively seek out these tiny positive moments using all five of your senses. You'll learn how to "collect" them like little gems and use them as a powerful reset button when a negative trigger tries to send you into a downward spiral. It’s not about pretending everything is perfect; it’s about realistically improving your mental state to become a more resilient and effective human being!   Contact me  Info@traceycolenlp.com www.traceycolenlp.com   Watch on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@traceycolenlp2086   Let's be social! www.facebook.com/traceycolenlp.com www.instagram.com/traceycolenlp.com   Next NLP Practitioner and NLP Coach Training: Starts January 2026.

Aileen Feeney is a producer of young showjumping and eventing horses. She show-jumped herself to a high level and ran a successful yard in Cheshire, England for 20 years before moving back and setting up business in Northern Ireland. Aileen is currently under investigation for Motor Neuron Disease (MND); this disease is a degenerative illness of the nervous system, usually progressing quickly and for which there is no  cure.  We chat about Aileen's love of horses and show-jumping, how she produced young horses for elite British and Irish show-jumpers whilst in England and her move back home to Northern Ireland. She now co-owns Yellowfield Stables in County Antrim with her sister.  When diagnosed with MND, Aileen set up the #mndonearmchallenge on social media to raise awareness of the disease. She has also started a Just Giving site where all donations, no matter how small, can be sent. All proceeds go to the Motor Neurone Disease Association. https://www.justgiving.com/page/onearmchallenge   Follow Aileen Yellowfield Stables - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100034428106538 MND One Arm Challenge https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61577021617829 Just Giving https://www.justgiving.com/page/onearmchallenge   Contact me  Info@traceycolenlp.com www.traceycolenlp.com   Let's be social! www.traceycolenlp.com www.facebook.com/traceycolenlp.com www.instagram.com/traceycolenlp.com info@traceycolenlp.com  

If your mind feels like it’s stuck on repeat—goong round and round, replaying conversations and rides, worrying about things that haven’t happened or spiralling just when you need calm—this episode is for you. We’re talking about perseverative cognition (yes, it’s a mouthful and I can hardly say it!); why it happens, how it affects your body and what you can do to break the cycle. With practical NLP techniques like sensory shifts, future pacing, and the “worry window,” you’ll learn how to gently take back control from looping thoughts—whether you're riding, prepping, or just trying to sleep.   Contact me  Info@traceycolenlp.com www.traceycolenlp.com   Let's be social! www.traceycolenlp.com www.facebook.com/traceycolenlp.com www.instagram.com/traceycolenlp.com info@traceycolenlp.com   Free mental imagery / visualisations (no sign-up necessary) https://traceycolenlp.com/free-mental-imagery-recordings/   Free Words Have Power course (no sign-up necessary) https://traceycolenlp.com/free-course-your-words-have-power/   Buy me a cup of tea!

What if the key to achieving your riding goals isn't in doing more, but in thinking differently about time? And specifically about the ride to come. In this episode,I talk about the fascinating world of Time Line Therapy®, focusing specifically on the underused future side of the time line—and how equestrians can harness this tool to unlock clarity, confidence, and calm in the saddle. Whether you're prepping for a show, overcoming nerves or simply striving for more consistency in your riding, 'future pacing' can become a powerful ally in your mental toolkit. You'll also learn about the Prometheus Induction, a subtle yet powerful process that helps create a vivid, compelling vision of your future success—so your unconscious mind begins working toward it now. 🔹 Why equestrians often get stuck looping past experiences—and how to shift forward 🔹 How future-based mental rehearsal builds real-world confidence 🔹 The role of emotion and identity in future goal setting 🔹 A practical walkthrough you can try today Whether you're a dressage rider, jumper, eventer or happy hacker, this episode is packed with insights to help you ride with more purpose and power. 🎧 Hit play to explore the mental edge you didn’t know you needed—and don't forget to subscribe so you never miss an episode built to support your journey, in and out of the arena.   Contact me  Info@traceycolenlp.com www.traceycolenlp.com   Watch on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@traceycolenlp2086   Let's be social! www.facebook.com/traceycolenlp.com www.instagram.com/traceycolenlp.com   Confident Rider Mindset Book/ Audiobook:   https://www.amazon.co.uk/Confident-Rider-Mindset-Riding-Success/dp/B0BMPLCB7Z/ref=sr_1_1?crid=6KCWM6D43BT2&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.4pkr-o3d2vf5lIXP8ZO4GQ.ZAOQQmJLBq1ZoSiq1ytb3423Zz3p0mqdZfHY4IIjauM&dib_tag=se&keywords=confident+rider+mindset+tracey+cole&qid=1746616441&sprefix=confident+rider+mindset+tracey+cole%2Caps%2C91&sr=8-1

This week, I'm chatting with Ellie Halsey. Ellie did some sterling research on emotional labour in equestrian coaches and her findings are highly relevant to all riders and horse owners. Emotional labour is about the effortful way we all carry and suppress emotions in our daily lives, something equestrian coaches do quite a bit of!   Ellie is a Performance Coach/BHSI and British Equestrian Level 4 Coach, with an MSc in Professional Practice in Sport Coaching. She has been coaching for almost 30 years and is currently an equine lecturer at FE college. She also holds a coaching and mentoring certificate; and another hat she sometimes wears is an expedition leader for Camps International and she's off to Kenya this July!   Where to find Ellie https://www.linkedin.com/in/ellie-halsey-23b283309/    Ellie's blog for equestrian coaches on the Riders Minds website  https://ridersminds.org/2025/04/30/emotional-labour-in-equestrian-coaching/   The Riders Minds Equestrian Burnout Blog Mentioned by Ellie https://ridersminds.org/2025/01/30/burnout-in-the-equestrian-industry/   Riders Minds Website - mental health support for anyone in anyway connected with horses - riders, horse owners, professionals, amateurs, recreational riders, grooms https://ridersminds.org/get-support/   Contact me  Info@traceycolenlp.com www.traceycolenlp.com   Watch on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@traceycolenlp2086   Let's be social! www.facebook.com/traceycolenlp.com www.instagram.com/traceycolenlp.com   ✨NEW!!

This episode is a must-listen for chocolate lovers.  We're exploring how dark chocolate can do more than satisfy a craving—it can enhance cognitive performance, reduce stress and support learning, all backed by research from Loma Linda University. Drawing on findings from a 2018 brainwave study and a 2016 paper published in Appetite, we unpack how 70% cacao dark chocolate increases gamma brainwave activity linked to memory and focus, and supports neuroplasticity and mood regulation. You'll learn how to apply these insights directly to your riding routine—whether you're memorising a dressage test, walking a jump course, or reviewing a round. Practical, evidence-based, and a little indulgent—this is mindset coaching with a scientific twist.   Papers used in this episode 2018 Loma Linda Study (Berk et al., Experimental Biology): 48 g of 70% cacao dark chocolate enhances gamma brainwave activity, neural gene expression, and reduces inflammation and stress. 2016 Loma Linda Appetite Study (Crichton et al., Appetite): Regular chocolate consumers demonstrated better visual-spatial memory, working memory, and cognitive function overall.   Have you written a 5* review - email me (see below) and join me on the exclusive workshop on 10th July (recordings available)   Contact me  Info@traceycolenlp.com www.traceycolenlp.com   Watch on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@traceycolenlp2086   Let's be social! www.facebook.com/traceycolenlp.com www.instagram.com/traceycolenlp.com     Next NLP Practitioner and NLP Coach Training:   Starts 28th July.

🎙️ In this solo episode of Over the Oxer, I’m doing something a little different—sharing my own story. From being a pony-mad preschooler in Warrington to riding across the Kansas prairies, I talk about my lifelong love of horses, the bumps along the way, and how mindset work transformed my confidence in the saddle. I've also a very exciting announcement: Over the Oxer has been named a finalist in the Equestrian Media category at the Equestrian Business Awards! Plus, I invite you to take part in a special workshop I’m offering to thank those who leave a review. If you’re curious about my horsey roots, how I overcame fear through NLP, or what I love beyond the arena (hint: beaches, history, and ice cream), this episode is for you.

Jenny Pim lives in Co Wexford in Ireland with her husband, dogs and ponies.

This episode explores predictive coding, a powerful psychological model that explains how the brain generates expectations based on past experiences, emotional states and environmental cues. For equestrians, these predictions can unconsciously influence posture, tension, decision-making, and even horse–rider communication—often reinforcing fear-based or limiting patterns. Learn how this can be turned on its head to help riders re-programme their brain’s default responses and ride with greater calm, clarity, and confidence.   Contact me  Info@traceycolenlp.com www.traceycolenlp.com   Watch on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@traceycolenlp2086   Let's be social! www.facebook.com/traceycolenlp.com www.instagram.com/traceycolenlp.com     Next NLP Practitioner and NLP Coach Training:   Starts 28th July.
