Annyka has helped me immensely in my riding career. Her approach to coaching focuses on the development of horse and rider together rather than a performance focus. This allowed me to build a strong and healthy mindset, helping me calmly work through any issues that arise in schooling and out at competitions. I couldn’t recommend her more; she taught me a better understanding of what educating a horse and myself should look like without performance pressures. CARLA GERIGK EVENTER

Working with Annyka in the lead-up to the Youth Olympic Qualifier completely changed how I look at competing. The mindset work we did helped me accept my nerves instead of fighting them, and use them to ride better. She also gave me invaluable advice on when to step myself and my horses up. Everything we worked on has made a lasting difference in how I prepare for any event, big or small.

Success Stories
I had the privilege of being coached by Annyka for most of my high school years, and I look back at those lessons with such a fondness and genuine appreciation. She highlighted the importance of the rider-horse relationship and how to enhance performance through strategic cognitive tools. With Annyka it was never only about physical capability, but rather good sportsmanship, outcome visualisation and genuine enjoyment. She is dedicated to all things mindset which ultimately manifests in better athlete performance, commitment and longevity. I consider myself so lucky to have had her in my coaching journey throughout some of my most formative years!
