HEY,
cowgirl
if you're tired of
Riding better at home than in the show pen
YOU'RE in the RIGHT PLACE
Crying after a run, wondering if you’re wasting your horse’s talent
Wondering if this might be as good as gets for you in horses
“Just think positive,” “cowgirl up,” or “just ride your horse” advice that doesn’t actually change anything.
Howdy,
I'm Nicole
Western rider, mental performance coach, mom, and host of the Resilient Reiner Podcast. I’ve spent over two decades in the horse world—hauling to shows, riding through nerves, and eventually turning things around so completely that folks started asking me for advice!
The Resilient Reiner Podcast is a weekly conversation about building the mental game you actually need as a western rider—so you can ride with more calm, confidence, and consistency in the pen and at home.
From show-pen nerves and “I’m going to blow it” spirals, to fear after wrecks or bad runs, to confidence slumps, burnout, and identity stuff that hits way deeper than one pattern… we go there.
You’ll get honest behind-the-scenes stories from my own riding, real coaching on what’s happening in your brain and nervous system, and candid conversations about the tools that actually help under pressure—breathwork, nervous system resets, grounding drills, focus cues, self-talk shifts, and more.
All to help you grow from struggling in the saddle to becoming the rider who hits the trails, pushes for more speed, and stays focused like a flea on a dog. All with greater style and confidence.
