(Re)Discover the excitement and passion for riding your horse
A proven, step-by-step system to help you overcome nerves, anxiety and fear, so that you can feel calm, confident and in control (of yourself AND your horse!) Get Started Right Now
You feel like you’ve tried everything to feel more confident… but the nerves keep coming back.
You adore your horse, and you want to enjoy your time together. But instead, you’re stuck in your head.
You second-guess every decision
The ‘what ifs’ take over before you even get in the saddle
Your body freezes faster than the blink of an eye
You keep hoping each ride will feel better, but it rarely does.
You feel stuck in a cycle of constantly scanning for potential threats
You know what you ‘should’ do, but somehow can’t find a way to actually do it
You wonder if you’ll ever get back to how it used to feel
The harder you try to fight the nerves, the more exhausting it becomes. You tell yourself to be braver. You collect advice, tips, and strategies from everyone around you. But nothing seems to stick.
And underneath it all is the secret worry that you don’t say out loud – “Maybe I’m just not cut out for this anymore.”
But I’m here to tell you that you are more capable and resourceful than you know.
You don’t need to push harder or “JFDI” (if you know, you know!).
You need a proven system, rooted in sound psychological principles, to help you overcome those limiting beliefs, those self-sabotage and avoidance cycles that keep you stuck in an ever-shrinking comfort zone.
You need a way to understand and work with your mind, so it becomes your biggest superpower!
You don’t have to keep fighting the nerves on your own.
The way forward isn’t about pushing harder; it’s about understanding what’s happening in your mind and body and creating new patterns.
That’s where I can help. My name is Alison Buttery and I use proven, psychology-based tools, to help riders, just like you, rebuild their riding confidence, whatever their starting point.

What Riders Say...
Since joining the membership has had a huge impact on my outlook and not just riding. I have changed how I talk and describe things and I’m more mindful of how I see a situation. I’m enjoying my rides so much more and I’m smiling so much now The other day my instructor said how me and my boy were looking amazing and that made me smile so much and we’ve bonded so much more. We are still a work in progress but so far I’m loving it
Since becoming a member and starting this course (and I am still very near the beginning of the work) I have noticed a definite increase in confidence and positivity – which is helping with life in general as well as with riding. I am far calmer and less inclined to catastrophise, enjoying my riding; learning to focus on the many things that go well rather than the few that don’t. I look forward to making even more progress as I work through. I also love reading about other people’s experiences and seeing how supportive everyone is of everyone else. I am so glad I joined.
It took me a while to get organised to sign up, but I’m so glad I did. It’s like you are inside my head and know exactly what’s holding me back. I don’t feel alone or silly any more I just need to prioritise my learning and make time for myself so that I can get to where I want to be. Thank you again so very much.

Frequently Asked Questions
“Is it really right for me?"
If overcoming nerves, anxiety and fear around riding, and developing self-belief and resilience feels worth it, then yes! This isn’t some mythical, magical, woolly, woo-woo-style training; instead, you’ll get access to tried, tested, and most importantly confidence-building tools and techniques that you can tailor to your needs and your situation.
You get to take back control of your mindset and confidence so that you can have the best adventures and make the very best memories with your horse.
“I don’t have much time, how can I make the most of the membership?”
The good news is that you can access the resources and community as little or as much as you like! You can choose what you do and when; it’s completely up to you. Whether you find 20 minutes or just 5 minutes, you can find benefit from all kinds of different resources. Your time, your rules!
And of course, weekly activities and monthly workshops are recorded, so you can catch up when you have a cuppa in one hand, and a biscuit (chocolate HobNob, obviously) in the other!
“I’ve tried other programmes before and they didn’t work. How is this different?”
In a nutshell, our approach focuses on mindset, confidence and psychological strategies directly related to riders and their unique challenges. Unlike generic programmes, the Crack the Confidence Code Membership can be tailored to your specific needs as a rider, offering tools and strategies that you can apply to your particular situation.
“What if it doesn’t work for me?”
Here’s the deal – give it a solid go for 7 days. Dive into the resources and activities, ask your questions, and share your thoughts. If it’s not quite ‘clicking’ for you, then I offer a 7-day money-back guarantee. A full refund, no strings attached. Plus, you can cancel at anytime, directly from your member’s dashboard.
"What kind of rider is the Crack the Confidence Code Membership suitable for?"
The membership and community focus on mindset, confidence and personal development training and resources for all kinds of riders. What I teach can be applied to any rider in any situation; whether you’re a beginner or experienced rider, a happy hacker or competition rider, or a rider in any discipline, there are plenty of tips, tools, techniques and strategies that will help you become a more confident rider on your own terms.
“I have a very specific fear/problem. Will this programme help me?”
While the membership covers a wide array of common fears and problems riders face, it is crafted to help you adapt strategies to your specific situation. Moreover, our community and Q&A sessions provide additional support for your unique challenges.
If you’re experiencing debilitating anxiety or are experiencing severe emotional responses associated with past experiences, then my 1-1 coaching packages might be your starting point, before joining the membership.
