BONUS SHOW RING TIP
When you are exhibiting a pattern at
a show, consider each element of your
course. If your horse hesitates and begins
to fight you, after 3 tries, excuse yourself
from the obstacle. Once your horse has
refused an obstacle, you are likely not
going to place well, so proceed with the
pattern after a few seconds versus being
excused by the Ring Steward. This is
going to increase your chances of placing
if you keep mental control of your horse
versus fighting with them needlessly in the
show ring.
Keep obstacles diverse
at home by approaching
them at different angles.
This gives you the increased
opportunity to find a
reactionary point in your
horse and work through it
properly.
