About me

I started my career as a competitive rider and competed at International level. In the beginning I won every weekend but as I became more and more focused on being competitive, the results started to go downhill, fast. I slowly became frustrated instead of having fun and forgot about why I actually started riding in the first place. At the shows, I became increasingly more tense…

How I work

Are you hungry and committed to become the best version of yourself?
Are you the kind of rider who believes in order for you to succeed, you need to learn, grow, improve and invest in yourself first? If so, mental coaching can help you not only improve your mental skills but also increase your results and enjoyment on the horse…

Success stories

“I grew up in a family surrounded by horses, and I’ve been riding my whole life. So of course everytime I was competing at a show I needed to deal with a lot of pressure from everyone around me. Due to this kind of pressure it was hard for me to actually perform well.

When I first met with Annette she taught me how to look at things differently. I needed to stop worrying about what people thought and instead focus on myself, my horse and how much I love showing. She also told me to focus on the process and not on the results. Which really helped me forward.

I didn’t only improve my riding through training harder but also through mental coaching. By visualizing how I wanted to ride the perfect courses with each and one of my horses it became a part of my mindset. Besides all that, Annette is a lovely person to work with, really understanding and tries to help you in any way possible.”
