However, fortunately, there are a number of wonderful coaches who already perceive the horse enterprise and may provide sound recommendation. I keep in mind a number of years in the past once I was competing together with my associates at our barn. I wished to be a part of the group, however I HATED competing. I used to be at all times so nervous, normally ending up snapping at my husband who had solely come as a result of I requested him to for “support.” I used to be depressing earlier than, throughout and after every present, vowing to by no means undergo it once more. However I made a decision to attempt yet another time and set my purpose to journey Coaching Stage four for the primary time on the dressage present on the finish of the season. I had simply completed a lesson with my coach and keep in mind sitting in my horse’s stall crying and feeling completely insufficient. The beginning of the identical worrying pre-show cycle I at all times had. However I had lately bought a e book known as, “That Winning Feeling” by Jane Savoie, herself a famous dressage rider. I assumed there could also be one thing in there that would assist me higher practice for my upcoming present. Think about my shock when I discovered that the e book had nothing to do with coaching my horse and EVERYTHING to do with coaching my thoughts! For years I had informed myself I might have a nasty journey – after which I did. At every present, I frightened that my horse would not decide up the proper lead on the canter – and he did not. All these “conversations” I used to be having with myself turned out to be self-fulfilling prophecies. However with Jane’s e book, I realized strategies to not solely cease the adverse ideas, however to make use of visualization to show them into optimistic ideas. For the following week, I labored as laborious (if not more durable) on these optimistic strategies as I did getting my horse prepared for the present. And I will be the primary to confess that these strategies aren’t at all times straightforward. I spent so a few years with my adverse ideas that it was laborious to show them round. Jane provides a method the place you visualize your dressage journey (or hunter spherical or any occasion) and also you do every part completely. It seems in your thoughts a bit like a film – and you are the star! Everytime you get to a degree in your imaginary efficiency the place you could have doubts and the doubts flip into errors, you merely hit “rewind” in your psychological film and return and picture it once more, this time really feel assured and doing it completely. I will need to have rewound my left lead canter depart one million occasions. Because it was at all times such a problem, I could not think about me EVER getting the proper lead so I could not correctly think about it in my film. So I enlisted assistance from my coach who took my horse motion (completely, in fact) by my “bogey” a number of occasions so I might etch it accurately in my thoughts. Finally, a minimum of in my creativeness, I used to be using a flawless dressage take a look at. On the day of the present, I discovered myself relaxed and in a optimistic way of thinking. No yelling at my husband. No outbursts of tears throughout my warm-up. I used to be calm and assured. I began the take a look at and out of the blue I had a wierd feeling – I used to be having FUN throughout my take a look at! Every little thing went easily – even the left lead canter depart! I keep in mind happening the centerline in direction of X and wishing I might do it once more! Did I win first place? No, however I gained a private victory in that I rode each motion accurately and loved the entire present expertise.

And your coach will maintain you accountable for the motion you conform to take. Keep in mind that the purpose of the non-public coach is to assist you and enable you to succeed.
