Hi! Sorry, I’ve been absent for so long. I think a little bit of anxiety is normal, it’s part of the adrenaline! But I tend to take a lot of time (if I have it) to warm up and calm myself a little bit. Also, going over the course in your head and having someone there with you can be a big help. I tend to get really nervous myself as well! I hope this helps!

Ah!! Sorry, I haven’t been on in forever. Congrats for making it! That’s an awesome accomplishment in itself. Just because you don’t compete doesn’t mean you’re not a good rider. It doesn’t take showing to do well! It’s the love, passion, and practice that matters. It’s tough to do but when you’re having trouble dealing with a horse’s quirk you have to be patient and calm. Think of taking deep breaths. As for the coach, I would try and have a talk with him/her and tell them what you feel like you’re struggling with. A good coach will be receptive towards this and help you work through it! Best of luck to you
