FEATURED PROGRAMS: [ Fall Back In Love With Riding - Ongoing] • [ Reclaim 6 Hours A Week - October 27 ]
I know the feeling — a one‑hour riding lesson never leaves enough time to talk about mental fitness, confidence, or the skills that make riding feel easier. Coaching gives you the space to explore what really shapes your progress and transforms how you learn, ride, and connect with your horse.
~ Nancy Lavoie • Robbins-Madanes Trained Life Coach

Join me, Nancy Lavoie, an Equestrian Mindset Coach, live every Wednesday at 7 PM EST for online dressage discussions.
We delve into theory, mindset, and practical skills, and you’ll have the chance to ask questions and connect with fellow riders..

Are you struggling with confidence? Are you having fun? Or have life's pressures overshadowed your passion for riding? Are you having trouble managing all the skills necessary to have success as a rider?
Overcome fear and doubt

It’s time to take back control of your riding experience.
Together, we will review your goals and remove the blocks holding you back so you can ride with confidence.
Schedule your introductory private coaching session with me, where I will help you identify the places you are holding yourself back and give you the tools you need to find the success you desire in your relationships and riding.


Journaling is a powerful tool for progress and a positive mindset. This dressage & equestrian journal helps you track achievements, visualize goals, and stay accountable. Small choices today shape your future success. More than a training log, it’s a form of self-care—connecting you with your core and deepening your riding journey.
