About Torey Roderick
AQHA Professional Horseman. Congress Champion. World Champion. Mindset Coach for Equestrians.
I’m Torey—a lifelong horsewoman, seasoned competitor, and certified mindset coach. I founded Mental Mastery to help equestrians transform their thinking, sharpen their focus, and show up with confidence when it counts the most.
I help equestrians unlock the full power of their mind so they can perform with confidence, ride with purpose, and lead with clarity—in the arena and beyond. Because I’ve been there—I know the pressure, the fear, the doubt… and I know what it takes to ride through it.
My Story
I’ve spent most of my life in the saddle, chasing big goals and learning powerful lessons along the way. As an AQHA Professional Horseman, Congress Champion, and World Champion, I’ve experienced the highs of winning and the pressures that come with performing at the top level.
But I’ve also experienced the quiet moments of doubt, fear, burnout, and frustration—the moments every rider faces, no matter how talented or experienced they are.
That’s where Mental Mastery was born. From a deep belief that success in the saddle starts with strength in the mind.
Now, I coach equestrians across disciplines—youth riders, amateurs, professionals, and teams—to build unshakable confidence, overcome mental blocks, and show up as their best, most focused selves.
I blend my experience as a high-level competitor with certified mindset coaching tools to deliver training that’s real, relatable, and effective. My coaching combines mindset science with the unique challenges of life with horses—whether you're under the lights at a world show or training at home.
No fluff. No fake motivation. Just practical, proven strategies that help you build the mental skills to back up your physical ones.
My Approach
Why Mindset?
In equestrian sport, your mindset is your most powerful tool—and too often, it’s the most overlooked. Horses mirror us. If we’re not clear, calm, and confident, they feel it. We can train the best horse in the world, but without a strong mental foundation, we’ll never ride to our full potential.
That’s where Mental Mastery comes in.
I coach equestrians to:
Overcome fear and self-doubt
Develop laser-sharp focus under pressure
Build consistent confidence
Perform at a higher level—in and out of the arena
What I Believe
Champions aren’t born—they’re built.
Great riders aren’t defined by talent alone. They’re shaped through discipline, grit, and mindset. Every champion has faced fear, failure, and frustration—but they kept showing up. Mental mastery is about learning to show up for yourself, even on the hard days, and trusting that every ride is building the rider you’re becoming.
Confidence is a choice you get to make every day.
Confidence isn’t something you’re handed—it’s something you create. It’s built through preparation, repetition, and the decision to believe in yourself, even when doubt creeps in. At Mental Mastery, we help you take back control of your inner dialogue so you can choose belief over fear—again and again.
Your mindset is your most valuable asset.
Why ride without the mental tools that keep you grounded, focused, and in sync with your horse? The truth is, your thoughts shape your body, your energy, and your communication in the saddle. That’s why mindset work is just as essential as physical practice.
When you learn to master your thoughts, your ride transforms—and so does your life.
Mental mastery doesn’t stop at the in-gate. The clarity, confidence, and resilience you develop through mindset work carries into every part of your life—from the barn to the boardroom, from competition to connection. When you become mentally strong, everything else gets stronger too.
