Social Supercharge: Riders – Getting to know Sarah Elebert

Sarah Elebert Eventing
In 2019, I launched my very first digital course aimed at equestrians and riders called Social Supercharge: Riders. Since it launched, I’ve been able to work with, learn about, and help riders from (literally) all over the world through the beauty of online training! In addition to the course, all equestrians taking part in my Social Supercharge: Riders get access to a free Facebook group and, lately, the chance to participate in the NEW NFU Countryside equestrian T&T panel! It’s an incredible group and it’s lovely to see these fab riders upping their social media game and getting what they want from it.
I thought it would be fun to share a bit about some of the amazing riders I get to work with, with you. So without further ado, it’s over to Sarah Elebert…

Care to share a funny equestrian story?
I remember being dragged by two spooked horses. Continuously saying ‘Woah’ on my belly – totally calm! Thankfully they listened but while I redressed myself (rolled my jods back up) I was more concerned with looking around to see if anyone had seen the debacle!!!
Best bit of riding advice you’ve been given –
If you are not in the right frame of mind, do not ride. And do not feel guilty about it. It’s the best thing for your horse.
Favourite equestrian brands
Montar, Botanica International, Hiho Silver Jewellery, Premier Equine.
One thing we might not know about you?
About My Past –  I am actually from a non-horsey background. About My future: I’m getting married in March!
Do you have anything you deem as ‘lucky’ when you ride/compete?
Funnily – Zarra usually gets her best results whilst she’s in season… when the tail goes up, I consider it a bit of luck!
Do you have any superstitions or rituals when you compete? How did this start?
I have a sports psychology program that I complete prior to training or competition. It streamlines my thoughts & allows me to focus. I also listen to a meditation app on route to competitions. This helps to keep me from overthinking. I began this ritual after my horses highlighted a change in my state of mind between my warm-up & when I went up the centre-line!
If you could have dinner with any rider/equestrian, who would that be?
 A 2 for 1, I think Tim & Jonelle Price would be a great laugh!

If you could ride any horse in the world – past or present – who would it be?

Cathal Daniel’s Rioghan Rua , I love a mare & this little chestnut is a XC machine!

Why did you join Social Supercharge: Riders?

To learn more about how to make the most out of Social Media. The Hints & Tips are so useful, practical and effective,

What’s the best thing about the course 
The best thing about the course (aside from all the useful information) is Rhea. Working with Rhea, you feel that there is somebody there to help you at any time, rooting for you and so so willing to help. She is very generous with her extensive knowledge and time. Also, she doesn’t take herself too serious and so is very relatable!

A few words about Social Supercharge: Riders

If you’re an equestrian, whether you’re an eventer, showjumper, dressage rider, happy hacker… or whether you keep horses and want to share what you’re doing with them on social media, this is the course for you. Social Supercharge: Riders has been created to help riders promote themselves and what they’re doing better on social media, to help it attract what they want. For professional riders, this might be owners and sponsors, for others it might be brand ambassadorships, or maybe growing an engaged following to share your story with.
