CCI5* and World Championships athlete Sinead Halpin Maynard has launched a new side hustle aimed at helping her fellow riders harness their true potential.
“I have been lucky enough in my career to have several wonderful mentors that have advised me throughout my horse journey,” Sinead wrote in a launch post on social media. “But, my location had a lot to do with the luck I had in finding those mentors. I realize being in the hub of Eventing is not possible for everyone; even if you are in a good location, getting someone to sit down with you for a hour can be daunting. Enter a new concept: Mindfuel Mentorship that aims to create a space (not bound by physical location) to help build confidence and provide council for others navigating their own horse journeys.”
