Happy Hacking Resource Pack
The practical, psychology-led toolkit that helps you hack out feeling calm, capable, and in control, whatever comes your way.
Hacking is meant to be the bit that clears your head, right?
Fresh air. Space. Time out. That quiet sense of “it’s just me and my horse, and we’re alright”.
But if hacking has started to feel tense, unpredictable, or like something you have to psych yourself up for, it can get in your head fast. You overthink the route, the traffic, the dogs, the wind, the “what ifs”, the people you might meet, and whether you’ll be judged if you say no or turn back.
This Resource Pack helps you rebuild the kind of confidence that holds up outside the arena, in the real world, with real-life variables.
It gives you a clear plan for what you want, a practical safety net for what might happen, and a set of mindset tools that help your brain stop treating hacking like a threat.
If hacking is your sticky point, you’re not alone
For plenty of riders, the arena is the comfort zone. The fences feel safe. It’s a comfortable environment.
Hacking is different. You’re out of those “four walls”, and your brain knows it. Even if you want to love hacking again, the uncertainty can feel loud.
You might recognise yourself here:
- You feel fine schooling, then your nerves kick in the moment you think about leaving the yard
- You avoid certain routes, times of day, weather conditions, or riding with particular people
- You worry about losing control in a group, or being pushed to do more than you’re ready for
- You feel silly saying “no”, even when your judgement is sensible
- You know your horse has done it with someone else, but you still don’t trust the pair of you together
- You tell yourself you “should” be able to do this by now, which only adds pressure
And because you’re an adult with a full life, limited time, and a lot of responsibility, it’s easy to end up in a loop: you avoid, it feels bigger, and then you avoid even more.
What you actually want from hacking
Let’s make this real, because “hack confidently” means different things for different riders.
Maybe your version is:
- a ten-minute walk up the drive after schooling
- a calm loop round the fields near the yard
- hacking alone without feeling on edge
- hacking in company without feeling rushed or judged
- getting to the woods, the bridleways, the country park, the beach, the places that used to feel fun
- being able to deal with a spook, a dog, or a lorry without spiralling afterwards
There’s no “right” version. Yours counts. Whether it’s two minutes or two hours.
This pack starts by helping you define what you want, clearly and specifically, so your mind has something solid to work towards.
Why this Resource Pack works
Because it tackles both sides of hacking: safety and mindset
You cannot hack out confidently if you’re relying on hope alone.
Hacking confidence comes from two things working together:
1. Practical preparation
A plan for the real-world stuff, so you are not blindly hoping it won’t happen.
2. Psychological confidence
The ability to stay in the present, trust your judgement, and recover quickly if something wobbles.
This pack gives you both.
What’s inside the Happy Hacking Resource Pack
1) The Happy Hacking Masterclass
A step-by-step training that helps you:
- define your personal hacking goal properly (so you stop chasing a vague “I should”)
- recognise the difference between normal nerves and a true phobia response, so you can respond appropriately
- break the anxiety-avoidance cycle using small, repeatable actions
- set realistic expectations that build confidence through evidence, not pressure
- make solid judgement calls (weather, time of day, road risk, horse freshness) without second-guessing yourself
- build confidence for both rider and horse using progressive “marker” goals (gate, lamppost, telegraph pole, end of the drive)
You’ll come away knowing what your next step is, not in theory, but in practice.
2) The downloadable, 40-page Happy Hacking Workbook
This is not a fully PDF you skim once and forget. It’s a structured process that helps you create real change, in order.
Inside, you’ll work through:
- Your Desired Outcome: building a well-formed goal that fits your values, not other people’s expectations
- How your mind represents hacking right now: mapping your fear picture versus your success picture so you can change it
- Changing your mental “movie” so your mind stops defaulting to the worry response
- Reframing limiting beliefs like “I’m not brave enough” or “I’m not as good as others”
- Perspective shifts that help you see what you cannot see when you’re inside anxiety
- Installing a confidence anchor you can trigger when you need it
- Horse foundations and energy management, so you stop setting yourself up for success
- Practical safety and progression tools, including a decision checklist and alternatives
- In-the-moment techniques for when anxiety kicks in on the hack
- A Tracker to build confidence the way your brain actually learns it, through proof
- A Quick Reference Guide to use before and during every ride so you don’t have to remember everything
3) Guided hypnotherapy track
This supports the part of hacking anxiety that isn’t logical.
If your body goes tight, your breathing changes, your stomach flips, or your mind runs ahead into worst-case scenes, hypnotherapy helps you train a calmer baseline response over time.
It’s especially helpful if:
- you feel overwhelmed before you even get on
- you carry an old memory or near miss that your body still reacts to
- you want to stop feeling like you have to “push through” every time
What changes when you do this properly
This Happy Hacking Resource Pack is designed to help you:
- stop treating hacking as a test you might fail
- start trusting your judgement, even when other people have opinions
- build confidence using small steps that become genuinely boring (in the best way)
- ride with the mindset of “I have options”, not “I have to prove myself”
- feel more present on your hack, rather than trapped in your head
- have a plan for challenges, instead of hoping they don’t happen
You won’t be trying to become fearless. You’ll feel more confident in your riding, how you respond and in your choices. You’ll feel more consistent, and more confident in your ability to handle whatever comes your way, so that you can finally relax and enjoy hacking out with your horse.
A quick “is this for me?” check

- you’re a rider who just wants hacking to feel enjoyable again

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I’m only comfortable doing tiny hacks right now?
That’s 100% fine! The whole method is built around small, repeatable steps, because repetition is what creates evidence. Two minutes counts if you repeat it and build on it over time.
What if my horse is the anxious one?
We cover the horse side properly, including confidence, preferences (solo versus company), energy management, and foundations. If your horse genuinely lacks confidence, it may also be appropriate to involve an experienced rider or professional to help build that confidence, so you’re not carrying the whole thing alone.
What if roads are my biggest worry?
You’ll get practical options, including timing, route planning, safety essentials, and alternative approaches such as leading in-hand, hacking elsewhere, or using a schoolmaster lesson to build your confidence first. The goal is not to force you onto the scariest option. It’s to get you moving forwards safely.
What if I feel pressured when riding in company?
This is more common than you think. The pack helps you get clear on your own goals and boundaries, then make decisions that protect your safety and your confidence. The right hacking partners will respect your pace and your plan.
How long do I get access?
This is a one-time purchase online resource. You’ll have instant access to the materials and can return to them whenever you need.
What if I change my mind?
As this is a digital product, no refunds will be provided.
Will this make me fearless?
That’s not the aim. The aim is calm confidence, better judgement, and the ability to recover quickly when something happens. Real hacking has variables. You’ll learn how to handle them.
