2 battles that I face at shows are: -timing. I will be very calm and relaxed if I know I have time before I have to warm up and I will take my time tacking up to remain in that headspace, but if all of a sudden the class is running ahead and I don’t have time anymore and I need to rush, I find I get very stressed and it’s hard for me to stay in that previous mindset and I know my horse is going to feel what I’m feeling. -competitors. I find that when I’m in the same class as a friend or former teammate (especially when we are close in order) it puts me under more pressure than I would like and I end up making dumb mistakes and not doing my best as my focus is not there due to their presence.

This module was very helpful for me as I tend to get flustered over even the smallest mistakes (especially if it happens more than once). After I ride, whether it’s at home or at a show, I will watch my videos over and over again and point out little mistakes/ what I could do better next time that maybe I didn’t notice while I was riding or my coach pointed out, but I will also point out what I thought was good and start to see what my coach said was good as well. I find this helps calm me a little afterwards and I will make a plan and keep it at the front of my mind to fix those mistakes or keep doing what was good for the next day/ride

looks good!
