off to Malton Show tomorrow ...

[michellepearson1]

Im taking my Sec D tomorrow to Malton Show - first time ive ever been to a large show - we usually do the local shows. Spent loads of time getting her and tack ready so will look the part. HOWEVER its when we go into the ridden class im already having palpitations just thinking about cantering and I hope they dont even ask for a gallop! I can canter at home, out hacking but put me in a show ring and I turn to jelly.

Any advice on keeping myself calm. the horse will be fine its me. Im over 45 now so think its my age doing it to me!

Great Show. I'm a Scarborough lass, alas down South now - we all have a cross to bear

You'll be fine when you get in the ring. I'm scared to death, but when in the ring I seem to be fine. Just think of it as a schooling session. Sombody on here recommended sucking a polo mint - its works - so thank you whoever said it!

HAVE FUN!!!
