About this episode

In this episode, I’m joined by three outstanding equestrian coaches — each a highly qualified mindset coach and Master NLP Practitioner — for a fascinating conversation at the intersection of horsemanship, psychology and performance.

Dressage specialist Samantha Osborn, a Centre 10 Coach from Somerset, shares her insights into developing mental clarity, confidence and consistency in the arena. Sarah Gowling, BHS-APC and Centre 10 Coach from Northampton, brings a wealth of experience in supporting riders to perform under pressure while staying connected and balanced with their horses. Joanne Hopkins, BHS-qualified and based in Surrey, offers a unique perspective through her specialist work with ex-racehorses and thoroughbreds, exploring mindset approaches that build trust, adaptability and long-term partnership.

Together, we discuss how mindset and NLP techniques can transform both rider performance and the horse–human relationship, with practical takeaways you can apply whether you compete, train, or ride for pleasure. This episode is packed with insight, experience and actionable tools for any rider wanting to think better, ride better, and enjoy the journey more.

 

We mention the 'Hakalau' technique, here's the episode:

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about how DevFound's AI matching, resumes, and referrals work.

DevFound's AI Copilot ingests your profile, goals, and live job data to deliver curated matches in seconds. Every match includes a resume variant, suggested referrals, and interview prep so you can act immediately. The more feedback you provide, the sharper the Copilot becomes.

AI-led job searches shrink the hours spent sifting through boards and formatting resumes. DevFound pairs automation with your personal outreach, so you reserve energy for interviews and negotiation. Traditional networking still matters, but AI gives you a lift before you even send a message.

Modern AI roles expect comfort with production-grade code, data fluency, and practical ML tooling. The strongest candidates pair deep technical chops with storytelling—translating model impact to product, GTM, and exec partners. Continuous learning keeps you ahead as stacks evolve.

DevFound rewards active seekers. Keep your profile fresh, respond to match quality prompts, and enable alerts so you never miss a role. The AI prioritizes companies and teams that align with your feedback, accelerating both introductions and interview invites.

High-density tech hubs continue to host the deepest AI talent pools, yet distributed teams are catching up fast. Use DevFound filters to hone in on onsite, hybrid, or fully remote roles and watch openings expand across time zones.

DevFound aggregates thousands of remote AI openings and flags the nuances—core hours, async culture, and visa needs—up front. The Copilot also recommends how to position your distributed work experience so hiring managers know you can thrive on a remote team.
