Lessons in Love and Healing: How Maddie Helped Lorcan Thrive After Ulcers

Season 2 · Episode 3

Tuesday, July 21, 2026 • Duration 01:17:38

In this heartfelt episode of The Rise and Ride Show, I chat with Maddie, the devoted owner of a stunning horse named Lorcan. When she first brought him home, Lorcan was quietly suffering from ulcers that took months to diagnose. Maddie shares her emotional journey of caring for him through recovery, the lessons she’s learned about equine ulcer treatment, and how she’s using Instagram to educate and inspire other horse owners. We also reminisce about our wild childhood rides on cheeky ponies and reflect on how horse care and riding have evolved over the years.

This episode is perfect for horse lovers, riders, and anyone passionate about equine health and wellbeing.

If your horse has suffered from ulcers or another illness, a nervous system reset could really help their recovery. Download my free guide here.

Dismounting with Dignity: Why Getting Off Can Sometimes Be the Bravest Decision

Season 2 · Episode 2

Tuesday, July 14, 2026 • Duration 41:26

Growing up, I was always told one thing: "Never get off."

The message was clear—if your horse was napping, spinning, or feeling worried, you had to stay in the saddle no matter what. Getting off was seen as giving in or letting your horse "win."

Years later, after gaining more experience with horses and learning about confidence, behaviour, and the nervous system, my perspective has completely changed.

In this episode of Rise & Ride, I'm sharing why I now believe that choosing to dismount can sometimes be the safest, wisest, and bravest decision you can make.

We'll explore how getting off isn't a sign of failure. In the right situation, it can help both you and your horse regulate your emotions, reduce tension, and prevent a stressful moment from becoming a dangerous one.

I'll also share practical tips on how to dismount safely, why it's important to keep moving afterwards, and how you can use those moments to rebuild confidence rather than lose it.

The advice I was given as a young rider and why my views have changed
Why "staying on at all costs" isn't always the safest option
Recognising when a situation is escalating
How dismounting can help calm both your nervous system and your horse's
Practical tips for dismounting safely and confidently
Why continuing to walk with your horse can help regulate both of you
Letting go of guilt and making decisions based on safety rather than pride
Building confidence through good judgement instead of feeling pressured to prove yourself

Sometimes, courage isn't about staying on no matter what.

Sometimes, courage is recognising when everyone will benefit from taking a different approach.

As always, every horse and every situation is different. This episode is about making thoughtful, safety-focused decisions that support both horse and rider.

If this episode resonated with you, I'd love it if you could follow Rise & Ride, leave a review, and share it with another rider who may have grown up hearing the same advice.

Thank you for listening, and remember—confidence isn't about proving anything to anyone. It's about making the best decision for you and your horse in that moment.

How Equine Reiki Can Support a Horse During Veterinary Recovery

Season 1 · Episode 23

Tuesday, June 16, 2026 • Duration 14:27

In this episode, I share the story of a recent Equine Reiki session with a lovely pony who is currently under veterinary care. His vet has created a treatment plan involving medication, box rest and, importantly, keeping him as relaxed as possible so he can get the sleep and recovery his body needs.

I talk about how Reiki can work alongside conventional veterinary medicine, never replacing it, but supporting the horse emotionally and physically by encouraging deep relaxation. At the end of this episode, you'll hear a beautiful real-life recording from the session, where the pony gradually melts into a state of complete calm, softly licking my cap before drifting into a deeply relaxed state.

If you've ever wondered whether Reiki could help an anxious, recovering or stressed horse, I hope this story gives you an insight into what these sessions can look and feel like.

Have you ever felt nervous about taking your horse out in a trailer or horsebox? Whether you're worried about loading, travelling, arriving at a new venue, or how your horse will behave away from home, you're certainly not alone.

In this episode, I share the story of taking Toby out in our new trailer for the very first time. Although Toby has travelled before, this was the first outing with me driving him in the new trailer, so I wanted to make sure I set both him and myself up for success.

I'll walk you through the exact steps I took to create a calm, positive experience, from choosing the right venue and mentally rehearsing the journey, to managing my own nerves, helping Toby settle on arrival, and recognising potential trigger points before they became problems.

You'll learn:

Whether you're planning your first trip out, returning to travelling after a difficult experience, or simply want your horse to feel more relaxed away from home, this episode is packed with practical, real-world advice that you can start using immediately.

Remember: confidence isn't about never feeling nervous. It's about having a plan and trusting yourself to handle whatever happens.

Bad Ride? Here's How to Recover Mentally and Rebuild Your Horse Riding Confidence

Season 1 · Episode 21

Tuesday, June 2, 2026 • Duration 14:01

Have you ever had a bad ride that left you questioning your confidence, your abilities, or even whether you should ride at all?

In this episode, I'm talking about what happens mentally after a frightening experience with your horse and why so many riders tend to fall into one of two camps:

🐴 The "just get back on and ride through it" camp
🐴 The "avoid riding altogether" camp

The truth is that neither response is right or wrong. They are simply different ways our brains and bodies try to protect us after a scary situation.

We'll explore the science behind fear, why your nervous system reacts the way it does, and how understanding your body's natural safety mechanisms can help you recover your confidence without forcing yourself or avoiding riding completely.

Whether you've had a fall, a spook, a bolting incident, or simply a ride that shook your confidence, this episode will help you understand what's happening in your mind and give you practical steps to move forward with compassion and confidence.

If you're a nervous horse rider or you're struggling to regain confidence after a setback, this episode is for you.
