Rebuild Your Riding Confidence After A Fall From Your Horse
How I Help Riders Go From Feeling Anxious or Scared, to Calm, Confident Riders, In Just Weeks, Without Clinics, Pressure or ‘Push Through It’ Advice
Get started with this complete step-by-step system that takes you from avoiding riding to getting back in the saddle and riding at your best – even if you worry that your nerves will never go away.
In a recent UK rider survey, more than half of riders reported a fall in the past year, and many admit they reduce or stop riding altogether afterwards (Marlin & Williams, 2024). Yet it doesn’t have to end that way — there is a way back.
This programme, Back in the Saddle: Rebuild Your Riding Confidence After A Fall, gives you a simple, proven path to rebuild your confidence after a fall, using mindset tools, psychology-based strategies that actually work (even if your legs wobble and your stomach drops just thinking about riding out again).
Zero fluff, and absolutely no woo-woo oddities 🤪
Absolutely no ‘Just Do It’ (or similar versions!)
No more pretending you’re fine (when you really don’t feel it)
Start where you are right now, small steps and a clear plan to follow.
And the specific tools, techniques and strategies that will get you riding again – safely, confidently and in control.
👇 Scroll down to see what’s inside, and why so many riders say “I wish I’d found this sooner.”
Why So Many Riders Struggle to Get Their Confidence Back After A Fall
Losing confidence after a fall isn’t unusual. It happens because:
👉 Riders are told to “just get back on” without a plan for rebuilding.
👉 They buy all new safety gear, hoping it will calm their nerves.
👉 They go all in and sign up for lessons or clinics that push them too hard.
👉 They try to handle it alone, but end up riding less and less, with an ever decreasing comfort zone.
👉 They get advice from everyone and anyone, and end up feeling even more confused and stuck.
👉 Or they simply stop getting on altogether…
I know this because I’ve hit the ground more times over my career, than I can possibly count (or remember!).
And every single time, I’ve had to make a choice: stay stuck in hesitation, nerves and anxiety, or find a way forward.
What I learned is that real confidence isn’t about riding without nerves, anxiety or ignoring the fear — it’s about understanding it, working with it, and building back stronger.
That’s why I created Back in the Saddle: Rediscover Horse Riding Confidence After a Fall.
It’s the exact step-by-step system I wish I’d had when I first started riding all those years ago – it’s packed with clear, real-life tools to help riders move past the nerves, reconnect with their horse, and enjoy riding again — with calm confidence.

Meet Your Coach — And Why This Actually Works
Hi, I’m Alison Buttery – BHS Accredited Coach (Stage 4 IT and ISM), PGCE & 11 years as a Senior Lecturer in Equine Science, NLP Practitioner & Coach, and equestrian confidence & performance specialist.
But more importantly, I’ve worked with hundreds of riders who felt just like you do now:
Shaken.
Frustrated.
Worried they’d “never get back to normal” after a fall, but still desperate to ride.
And I’ve helped them rediscover their self-belief, excitement and passion for riding once again.
I created this course because I was tired of watching brilliant, horse-loving riders lose their joy and confidence… simply because no one ever taught them what to do after the fall.
Not in clinics.
Not in yard chat.
Not even in instructor training.
This isn’t about tough love, mindset fluff, or forcing yourself to do the things that terrify you.
It’s about understanding what’s happening in your brain and body, and learning simple, science-backed ways to quietly and consistently build trust in yourself again.
Because here’s what I believe:
🧡 You don’t have to choose between safety and joy.
🧡 You don’t have to fake confidence to be a “real rider.”
🧡 And you absolutely deserve to enjoy the horse you love, without that constant feeling of dread.
Let’s take the next small step together.

Nope. Many riders begin this course while still taking a break or feeling unsure. You’ll learn how to reset your nervous system, feel more in control, and build confidence before you get back on, so when you’re ready, you’re not starting from zero.
How long will I have access to the course?
You get lifetime access to the whole programme, so you can go at your own pace, revisit any module whenever you need, and take things step by step without pressure.

You’ll get both – because real, lasting confidence needs both.
Each module combines simple mindset insight (no jargon!) with practical, rider-ready tools you can actually use before, during, and after your ride.
