In this episode of the Equestrian Performance Mindset Podcast, I and Lorna welcome Noora from Dubai to share her powerful journey as a young rider. From her first pony rides to endurance racing, showjumping setbacks, and breaking her leg just as her confidence was growing,

Noora’s story is one of resilience, courage, and transformation. She opens up about the fears, doubts, and setbacks that nearly stopped her from pursuing her passion, and the mindset tools that helped her come back stronger.

You’ll discover:

• How Noora went from falling off weekly to importing her dream horse


• Why breaking her leg became the turning point in realizing it was her mindset holding her back.


• The simple shifts that took her from fear and self-doubt to riding her first clear round in Nationals.


• Why redefining success changed everything in her riding.


• How her new mindset now impacts not only her riding, but also her studies, training, and everyday life.

If you’ve ever thought “I’m not talented enough” or worried what others might think when you step into the arena, Noora’s journey will inspire you to see that it’s never just about talent, it’s about mindset.
