Dealing with competition stress

[parkbren]

Hi
For an assignment for my degree i am looking at how owners deal with horses that become stressed before and throughout competing in a one day event. It is based on combinations competing at BE80 and BE90 level. Any information will be a great help.
Many thanks

There is a feature in this Thursday's H&H magazine (Managing your adrenaline, p24, Thursday 22 January) which you may well find useful for your assignment.

I have long believed that the stress starts with the rider.
