The Mind Behind the Ride with Tanja Mitton

In this episode of The Equestrian’s Inner Life, Pernille sits down with equestrian mindset coach, author, and educator Tanja Mitton to explore the powerful relationship between the rider’s inner state and what unfolds with the horse.Originally from Germany, Tanja began her career working in professional show jumping stables across Europe before moving to Australia, where she combined her extensive experience with horses with a deep interest in psychology and human behaviour. Today she works with riders across all levels of the sport, helping them understand how thoughts, emotions, and beliefs influence both performance and partnership in the saddle. Together we explore the inner side of riding — how fear and self-doubt arise, how awareness can transform our experience with horses, and why the rider’s mindset plays such an important role in communication and connection.Resources:Connect with Tanja through coaching: http://www.tanjamittoncoaching.com/Connect with Tanja through email: [email protected] with Tanja: http://www.tanjamitton.com/Connect with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rramossportFollow along on the journey: https://www.pernillehogg.com/podcastMusic produced by Melissa Parris
