Trust your horse
by: Melaina-Joy

Just take a few deep breaths and put all your trust in your horse... if you don't win you don't win, but that doesn't matter. if you trust your horse then he/she will trust you too, keep you safe and try their very hardest for you.

I learned this through having two rescue ponies, without putting my full trust in them they wont do anything.

I really get nervous with my shows because i compete with champs. All i do is go away from the ring with my horse and work on groundwork or something easy like flexing in the saddle. Otherwise i will stretch and if you have a friend there just sit and talk. When your name is called stay off your horse untill the person ahead of you is about to end their run. When you get to the gate pretend your at home with a bunch of friends and just show'em what you got. And preping before shows just make a list in your head of things you want to do. Then sort them out and do some in the morning so that you keep busy.
relax...

Stay Calm
by: Nicole

Nervousness* can't be fixed but can be helped all you gotta do is stay calm, what I do to stay calm is close my eyes then open them and just pretend me I and my horse (Jewel) are the only ones there!!! Hope it helps!!!
