Anxiety Question:
How do I control stress and anxiety while in the horse show ring?
Anxiety Answer:
To control stress and anxiety, think of it as, "no big deal," take your eyes off the prize, and just do what you and your horse are good at.
If you think, "I want the cooler/ halter/ saddle," you'll probably not get it.
Have confidence in yourself and your ride.
Don't compete in classes that are too advanced for you and you'll be able to know that you can do the test ahead with no problem, that will give you confidence.
Take a deep breath before you go into the arena and continue breathing while you perform your test.
