Well, I really struggle with my competition nerves. Each time I compete I have to ask people on the yard what do I do if I have a run out or if I make it over a fence and my partner doesn't. Just stupid questions like this even tho I've done it a thousand times before. I do have an anxiety problem which does effect my everyday life, however not my riding, but it's strarting to when I compete and riding has alway been my relief and almost my way to make my self feel like I've done something good and I can do something and life's not that scary after all! Also I need to pull myself together as I quite often represent different people/ breeders/ yards durning competitions and I'm sure they don't appreciate a collection ring melt down! I've got a hunter trial in pairs this weekend and yes I'm going to ask some annoying questions:
-what do u do when u have a run out?
-what do u do if u make it over and your partner doesn't or vice Versa?
I guess hearing what people do helps me. If anyone also has any advice on how to combat my nerves that would be kindly appreciate. Thanks, sorry for the essay!!!!
