Hmm id say i was quite a few of them:

Competitve but analyse everything
I do not know why I compete I am so nervous - I nearly pass out before jumping haha but once im going im ok

I am just adding value to my horse - self explanitory really..who doesnt want that!!!
Someone makes me - My Dad makes me haha - he if wasnt for him I prob wouldnt (well more couldnt afford it)...
 
I am competetive but I do tend to wind myself up into such a state I sometimes wonder why I bother

I am also very self critical and have no confidence in myself or my ability
 
I'm not competitive at all, it got drummed out of my whilst consistently coming last/elimated at the first fence during my pony club days!
Now I see competitions as extended training sessions and, as long as there has been an improvement each time I go out, I'm happy. A placing is just an added, unexpected bonus.
 
I ticked the top 2.....i'm confident in what i do (most of the time), but it doesn't mean i don't analyse (and over-analyse

) everything i do in the ring

I would not say I am competitive against others but more against my own ability and I spend hours analyzeing after a competition and kicking myself for not being so brave letting the horse and myself down.
 
Am secretly competitive-but do it all for fun really-so when it all goes well its a bonus...
Critical about my own riding ability-strive to be the best that I can with some varied success!....
So I suppose I'm not competitive in the sense that I'm not going out wanting to win, win, win but competitive in the sense that I want to go out and do the very best I can and get the best placing possible.....oh alright I really DO want to win, win, win!....
 
Competitive but its just fun!!

If someone said 'you can never compete again' I'd be a bit annoyed, but its not the only thing I have horses for!!

I do analyse what we have done, and have competed to increase her value, but I don't compete to beat everyone and I'm not worried if I come last (unless I really didn't deserve it) but to be honest, I generally know where I expect to be placed.
 
I never used to be competitive at all and used to get ridiculously nervous and physically ill before each competiton! These days I really enjoy competing and have definately developed a more competitive streak. I compete because I enjoy it but do tend to analyse everything and blame myself for silly mistakes...however I never dwell on it that long and generally just laugh off the tests that go pear shaped! I love my boy to bits and as long as he behaves (which is more often than not) I am proud of him. I accept that dressage can often be very subjective and choose not to beat myself up over a score that is not as good as usual.
 
I have to admit to being extremely competitive and analyse everything. Also get very frustrated when I can't ride as well as I feel I should!
 
I dont know, I like to be quietly competitive but generally I'm never in a position to be well placed so it tends to be a nice suprise when it does happen rather than a nicely planned outcome!!
 
Not very competitive unless there's a very good reason to be, and in that case I will be quietly confident. Don't get nervous about competing as I love it, just about my own ability. Analyse everything..probably over analyse really.
 
Competetive but confident in ability, when im going with a 'ready made' horse. But for the babies, Its just extended training.
 
I said the 2nd one as I love to compete, but I analyse everything and blame myself for silly mistakes. I am going through a stage where it isn`t very often when we are clear, so I aim for clear rounds, but when we get placed, it is an added bonus. I used to be so competitive and go to win, but now, I just go to get better and we do our best. We are getting there slowly - hopefully.
