This is a continue to the horse competition post I made previous. The day before the competition is over with and now you are arriving to the actual day which is just as much work maybe even more than the day before; here are some steps to keep in mind when you are at your competition.
Step 1: When you arrive to your competition keep calm and don't get nervous, your horse can sense that and will be the same way as you are
Step 2: tie your horse up and enter up in all the events you are doing, asking questions if you dont know what a pattern is saying or what times they are or any other questions you need to ask before its to late, and make sure they are the events you are comfortable with.
Step 3:Clean your horse again, brush them off, comb mane and tail and any other items you need to clean before you go into competition
Step 4: Practice! Practice! Practice! know your patterns you are given, if your in an obstacle/trail course go check it out and see what you have to be doing and if they give you time go into the arenas they have and work on everything and memorize what you need.
Step 5: When it comes to competition and when they call your name take a deep breathe, walk in calm and relaxed; do your best and keep going even if your horse wont; and have fun!
Enjoy your horses=)!
