Crack the Confidence Code
An exclusive self-study, online rider mindset and confidence programme, created to help you become a more confident, calm and positive rider, so that you can start feeling excited about riding your horse again! Join NowDo any of these sound familiar?
👉 You’ve had a fall or a bad experience, and you’re desperate to get back to riding and doing what you love with your horse, but you can seem to get past it.
👉 Something as simple as putting your foot in the stirrup to mount fills you with dread, and you’re too scared to even get on and ride.
👉 You’re really hard on yourself, your mind is full of negative thought patterns and you relentlessly beat yourself up for not being good enough, or for letting your horse down…
👉 You can find no end of excuses not to ride today, and before you know it, you don’t know how to get started again.
👉 You beat yourself up, feeling silly as you know what you should be able to do
👉You’re frustrated and stuck, feeling like you’re just not good enough, and you’re convinced that you’re letting your horse down.
👉 You watch other riders at your yard and check out your friend’s highlight reels on social media, thinking “I’d love to be able to do that! They make it look so easy… there’s no way I could do that”.
👉 You’re constantly comparing yourself to how you used to ride, and beat yourself up for feeling differently now.
👉 You’re embarrassed about riding in front of other people, feeling sure that everyone who watches you is thinking how awful you are.
Any of these experiences will make you feel frustrated, fed up and stuck, and you just can’t see a way to overcome your fears and loss of confidence.
Whatever your situation right now, I want you to know that you are not alone.
I meet so many riders who are struggling with a loss of confidence about riding, and they have tried all sorts of ways to feel better, from Rescue Remedy to rhythm beads, but nothing has really changed.
But these don’t get to the root of the problems; they’re a sticking plaster over a grazed knee.
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.
Cool, right?
That’s exactly why I created the Crack the Confidence Code Membership.
My Crack the Confidence Code Membership gives you a simple, proven way to stop overthinking and start enjoying your riding again.
You’ll learn exactly why your nerves keep showing up, and how to change those patterns for good.
Instead of just hoping each ride will feel better, you’ll have a clear strategy to build real confidence that lasts, so riding feels calm, safe, and enjoyable again.
Feel calm, safe, and in control when you ride
Psychology-based tools & technqiues to calm your mind and body, so tension doesn’t take over. Ride with confidence, even when things feel uncertain.
Break free from nerves, anxiety and ‘what ifs’
Simple strategies to stop overthinking before it spirals. Replace the ‘what ifs’ with clear, steady focus in the saddle.
Build lasting confidence that grows with you
A step-by-step approach that creates real, lasting change. Confidence that stays with you as you grow.
What Becomes Possible For You...
You ride without nerves, anxiety or fear
You hack out, canter, go to training clinics or compete with your horse
You discover a new, more confident, self-assured version of yourself
You know that you have everything you need, to manage whatever situation occurs right now.
That you feel that sense of anticipation and excitement about riding your horse, and can’t wait to get going.
Somehow when you’re riding everything feels slower, calmer and waay more enjoyable.
You’re in control of what you think, feel and do. You’re in flow, focussing completely on your riding and your horse.
You’re working as a partnership; communication between you and your horse is effortless and easy.
You don’t need someone to tell you to be brave.
You need a space where your confidence can grow whatever comes your way.
What you really want is peace of mind. To ride with more ease. To feel proud of your progress. Making the best memories with your horse.
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.

Who the membership is for...
The Crack the Confidence Code Membership is not always for everyone, and truth be told I’d prefer to help you figure out if it’s not right for you BEFORE you join rather than waste your time. So, let’s cut to the chase…
Who is the Crack the Confidence Code Membership for?
Riders who want to overcome their nerves, anxiety, fears and ‘what ifs’, so they can rediscover their passion for riding and do more of what they love with their horse.
Riders who are returning to horse ownership or riding after a break, and want to rebuild their confidence so they can experience that buzz all over again.
Riders who have found their passion for horses a little later in life, who want to find real, lasting confidence in themselves and their horses.
Riders who have been struggling with perfectionism, set extremely high standards for themselves, are really hard on themselves, and who’d like to find lighter, more enjoyable and fulfilling experiences of riding.
Riders ready to make a decision that enough is enough; they’re fed up with the nerves, the ‘what ifs’ and the stress! Riders who are ready to start making changes today, to choose a new, more confident future for themselves and their horses.
Riders who adore their horses and want to be the best they can be together, whatever it takes.
Who is the Crack the Confidence Code Membership NOT for?
Riders who want someone to ‘fix them’; no one can do this for you! I will help, guide, train, support, and advise you, but ultimately it’s up to you to take action and commit to making the changes you want (and need!).
Riders who want to learn but not do. Remember, knowing something is very different to being able to actually doing it and making it part of your world.
Riders who do not want to make time to work on themselves and their mindset and confidence. Nothing changes if nothing changes.
Frequently Asked Questions
"Why should I become a member today instead of waiting?"
It’s time for you to take action. Simple as that. If you really want to have a real, long-lasting self-belief and self-confidence around riding (and let’s face it, in the rest of your life too…?), then you need somewhere to get answers to all of your questions – especially the ones you don’t know you have yet. You need support, community, and most of all… accountability!
The Crack the Confidence Code Membership is that place. If you really want to make a difference, the time is now.
“What if I’m not very tech-savvy?”
Don’t worry, you don’t need to be. Our members’ area is user-friendly and we have a guide to help you navigate it. Plus, our supportive community is always here to help if you get stuck. Don’t let technology get in the way of building your confidence!
“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.
“Can I really change my mindset and confidence?”
Truthfully: Yes, you can. But you have to actually want to change.
It sounds obvious, right? But sometimes, our mind can trick us into thinking that “it’s just not going to work for me, because… XYZ”. So, you can carry on believing that, which is totally fine, or you can make a decision to challenge those old beliefs and create new ones which actually do more of what you love with your horse.
It’s your choice; 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’m not sure I want or need to be part of a community!”
Honestly: We’re all riders here, sharing, learning, and lifting each other up. The goal is progress, not perfection. However, if you prefer to do things on your own, then that’s totally cool too! There are no rules, rights or wrongs about how you interact with our community; everybody’s experience and perspectives are different. It’s totally up to you how much you engage with everyone… or otherwise!
“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.
“Is the content accessible at all times?"
Absolutely: Once you’re in, you can access the online materials whenever you like, from wherever you are. Plus, all new content added while you’re a member is yours to use, too – ensuring your learning and growth never have to stop for as long as you’re a member. Please be aware that if you leave the membership for any reason, you will no longer have access to any of the content or resources.
“How is the content delivered? Is it all online?”
Yes, all content is online and accessible through your member’s dashboard. You can watch videos, join live sessions, and engage with other content from the comfort of your home, stable, or on the go.
"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.
