Don't get be wrong, winning ribbons is awesome at shows ... but I love showing because I enjoy what goes into prepping for the show.
Cleaning my tack like it's never been cleaned before, trying to prefect everything in lessons, packing things up, picking out the perfect outfit and representing my trainer the best I can.
I don't love the nerves and have yet to figure out how to calm them, they tend to take over ha!
On that note, Henry and I will be doing probably the final show of the year on Oct 19th. Maybe we will find something else to do but nothing is on the horizon right now.
Like we always say, when you figure out a cure for the nerves, please let me know!
ReplyDeleteHaha you got it! When you figure it out, tell me too! :)
DeleteI love your answer. It's not just about the ribbons, although that's nice too.
ReplyDeletetotally! :)
DeleteMy best advice for battling nerves is to just show a ton.
ReplyDeleteI need money! lol
DeleteMy favorite day of any show is the day before the show when the barn is bopping and everyone is getting ready. At my last barn, all the kids would create a horse-washing express line. We would bring them out one by one and shampoo/conditioner/shine them right up as a group! It was a lot of fun
ReplyDeleteaw fun!!
DeleteAgree with Lauren, just gotta show more!
ReplyDeleteGotta win the lotto!
