Rebuild Your Riding Confidence - One Simple Step At A Time
The proven online rider confidence programme designed to take you from anxious, overthinking or stuck… to calm, capable, and in control, no matter where you’re starting from. Join NowYou adore your horse, but riding just doesn’t seem to feel the way it used to.
The nerves are louder. The enjoyment has disappeared. And no matter how much you tell yourself to “just get on with it,” something still doesn’t feel right.
You’re not alone.
You just need a way to feel safe again, in your mind and body.
That’s what the Crack the Confidence Code Membership is here for.
This is a step-by-step online membership, grounded in rider psychology, designed to help you rebuild your confidence and ride with calm, clarity and self-belief.
Does this sound familiar?
When anxiety creeps in, it affects everything. You start second-guessing yourself. You worry about holding your horse back. You avoid rides, skip lessons, or find reasons (excuses?) to stay on the ground.
You might be telling yourself, “I should be over this by now.” Or wondering why something that once felt easy now leaves you tense or teary. You’re not making it up. And you’re definitely not the only one.
You might even feel embarrassed. Perhaps you’ve ridden for years, but now mounting fills you with dread. You don’t want to let your horse down, but you can’t seem to move past it.
You’ve tried the Rescue Remedy, the rhythm beads, the “just get on with it” mindset… but nothing really changes..
This membership is also designed for the rider who knows their body is changing, whether that’s because of peri/menopause, midlife, or a shift in priorities. Things feel different now. And that matters.
Confidence doesn’t come from pushing harder. It comes from understanding what’s going on underneath the nerves and learning a system to manage your mind and emotions from the inside out.
When your mind and nervous system feel safe, your confidence returns. Step by step, navigating challenges successfully and rediscovering your passion for riding.
Why I Created This...
I’m Alison Buttery – a British Horse Society Accredited Professional Coach and multi-certified Rider Performance Coach.
Over the years, I’ve worked with hundreds of riders who felt anxious, stuck or disconnected from the joy they used to feel. Many had experienced a fall. Some had taken a long break. Others had never quite built the confidence they wanted in the first place.
What I saw again and again was this:
Confidence doesn’t return through gritted teeth. It returns through safety, self-awareness, support and by following a proven system.
I’ve stood next to enough riders with shaking hands at the mounting block to know it’s not about being weak. It’s about what your brain and body have learned to fear, and how we gently teach them safety again.
I created this membership to offer something most riders don’t get – a structured, psychology-informed process that meets you where you are, and helps you take the next step, one calm, supported stage at a time.
What Becomes Possible
You don’t need someone to tell you to be brave.
You need a space where your confidence can grow in its own time.
What you really want isn’t perfection. It’s peace of mind. To ride with more ease. To feel proud of your progress. To know you’re doing right by your horse, and right by yourself.
Here’s what starts to shift when that happens:
You might even find yourself looking forward to riding again, and actually feeling excited, not just relieved you got through it!
You’re in flow. Present. Grounded. In control.
This is what confidence really looks like. Not fearless. Not perfect.
Just calm, quiet trust in yourself, building bit by bit, until one day, you realise it’s there.
What you get inside
This isn’t just a bundle of random lessons which just scratch the surface! You’ll get access to my exclusive Rider Confidence Success Track – a 5-stage journey designed to meet you where you are and support your progress, step by step, whatever your starting point.

Build the tools to manage your thoughts and regulate your nervous system, so you can stop spiralling and start riding with more ease.
Feel calmer, clearer, and more in control.
Stage 3: Confidence Breakthroughs

Let go of what’s holding you back and feel more like yourself again.
Stage 4: Confidence Solutions
How do I handle the things that have been challenging me?

Handle your sticking points with confidence and ease.
Stage 5: Confidence Evolution
How do I stay steady in the long term?
Learn how to maintain confidence over time, manage setbacks, and keep growing.
Build self-belief and keep challenging yourself, long after the nerves have settled.
What makes this different?
You’ve probably tried riding tips, watched videos, maybe even watched a webinar or even joined a course that left you with more questions than answers.
This is not that.
The Crack the Confidence Code Membership is designed with your whole nervous system in mind, combining the best principles of sport psychology, neuroscience, and neurolinguistic programming.
You’ll get clarity, structure, and a focused path that cuts through the noise.
You’ll get support to manage your mindset and the emotions in your body — so you can ride with calm, confidence, and control.
This isn’t another sticking plaster over a grazed knee! It’s the deeper work that helps everything else make sense.
And we do it all in a space where you’re safe to share your experiences, learning, wins, challenges and wobbles as you go along.

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.
