Nervous... about tomorrow!

[mrsk29]

I am going to attempt a clear round tomorrow and am nervous, its the first one ive ever done..the jumps will only be small but my boy wasnt the best behaved last time we went and we were only watching! Any advice for keeping nerves under control for both of us? Im sure hes done it before but i havent since I was a kid..

Here we were practicing last week...

Enjoy yourself! Kid yourself you're at home and look like you do in the photo. Good luck and let us know how you get on

Take rescue remedy and sing. Singing helps you breath and relax. Rescue remedy will take the edge off your nerves and make it managable. Go, but if you feel too nervous to compete, just ride in the warm up and do a few pops over a practice fence. Nerves will go way down as you get famiar with competing.

Well we did it!! First attempt went clear! I'm so pleased!! He didn't put a hoof wrong and I didn't fall off!! Although I have nice bruised legs from my boots... Must get some short long boots!
