How are you working to reduce the carbon footprint at the show?
From working with the venue, looking at ourselves and collaborating with exhibitors. But here’s the thing… Visitors’ travel is the biggest carbon emitter of each show. So we need your help. Taking the train instead of driving will reduce the emissions of your journey by around 80%. The NEC is a 5-minute walk from Birmingham International train station or 90 seconds by the free air-rail walk. If you need to drive, car share with friends and reduce your impact by 50%. There’s a great network of cycle and footpaths in the area and bike racks are near the entrance. There are also electric car charging point and more to come in the future…
Is there a cloakroom?
The NEC has a cloakroom before you enter the Show. Visitors with a VIP Ticket will have access to a VIP Cloakroom in the VIP Lounge.
Do I need to book to see a speaker?
No need to book, our speaker program is included as part of your ticket and seats are available on a first-come-first-served basis.
Will there be food stalls?
Yes, there will be a number of NEC-managed food stalls, and some of our exhibitors will sell packaged food items too.
Will I need ID?
We do not require ID to gain entry to the Show.
My question isn’t here
If you still have a question, please email us on [email protected]

MINDSET SPACE TALK SCHEDULE
Saturday
10:15 - 10:40
Stuck, Safe, or Striving? Understanding Your Comfort Zone & How to Break Free
Your comfort zone is designed to keep you safe, but it can also keep you stuck. Push too hard, and fear takes over; stay too safe, and progress slows down. As a rider, understanding how to stretch your comfort zone without overwhelming yourself is key to building confidence. As an instructor, recognising when a rider is ready for the next step—or when they need to consolidate—can make all the difference. This session will help both riders and coaches understand the psychology behind the comfort zone and how to expand it in a way that builds real, lasting confidence.

11:15 - 11:40
Riding with Ghosts - How Past Experiences Shape Your Confidence in the Saddle
Every rider carries experiences that shape how they feel in the saddle, often without realizing it. A past fall, a difficult horse, or even a coach’s words can leave lasting imprints that create hesitation, tension, or self-doubt. If you’re a rider, you’ll gain insight into how these experiences might be affecting you now—and how to break free. If you’re a coach, this session will help you spot these hidden influences in your clients, giving you tools to help them overcome past setbacks and ride with confidence in the present.

12:15 - 12:40
Why 'Tick-Box' Goal Setting Fails Riders - And What to Do Instead
Traditional goal-setting methods like SMART goals don’t work for riders—because riding isn’t predictable! Unexpected setbacks, fluctuating confidence, and your horse’s needs can make rigid goals feel frustrating and unachievable. If you’re a rider, you’ll learn how to set flexible, adaptable goals that actually keep you motivated and moving forward. If you’re a coach, this session will show you a more effective way to help your riders set meaningful, achievable goals that keep them progressing—without unnecessary pressure or burnout.

13:30 - 13:55
Wasting Energy on the Wrong Battles? Mastering What's Truly in Your Control
Too many riders stress over things they can’t control—like the weather, the judge’s opinion, or how fresh their horse feels on competition day. But wasting energy on the uncontrollable only adds frustration and anxiety. As a rider, learning to focus on what is in your control will help you feel calmer and more in charge. As an instructor, helping clients shift their mindset away from external frustrations can drastically improve their confidence and performance. This session will teach you how to develop this essential skill—for yourself and for those you coach.

14:30 - 14:55
Riding Under Pressure - How to Handle Stress & Still Perform at Your Best
Pressure can either make or break a performance, and how you handle it determines your success. Stress affects both body and mind in the saddle, often showing up as tension, overthinking, or even freezing at critical moments. If you’re a rider, you’ll learn practical techniques to stay calm, focused, and in control when it matters most. If you’re a coach, you’ll gain a better understanding of how pressure affects your riders and how you can help them manage stress to perform at their best—whether in training, competition, or everyday riding.

Fear Doesn't Care About Your Level - But Here's How to Take Back Control
Fear doesn’t disappear just because you’re experienced—it just evolves. For riders, it might show up as hesitation in transitions, competition nerves, or avoiding certain situations altogether. For instructors, it can be harder to spot, as riders often disguise fear with excuses, tension, or frustration. In this session, you’ll learn how fear affects both riders and their horses, plus practical tools to manage it—whether for yourself or to better support your clients.

Wasting Energy on the Wrong Battles? Mastering What's Truly in Your Control
Too many riders stress over things they can’t control—like the weather, the judge’s opinion, or how fresh their horse feels on competition day. But wasting energy on the uncontrollable only adds frustration and anxiety. As a rider, learning to focus on what is in your control will help you feel calmer and more in charge. As an instructor, helping clients shift their mindset away from external frustrations can drastically improve their confidence and performance. This session will teach you how to develop this essential skill—for yourself and for those you coach.
