Show Day Surprises: Who Is This Horse? - #187

Does your calm, rideable partner suddenly transform into an adrenaline-fueled beast the moment you trot up the centerline at a show? You're not alone! In this episode, Jocelin and Lorna unpack one of the most frustrating experiences riders face: when your horse becomes an entirely different animal at competitions; hotter, stronger, and seemingly tuned out from how they go at home. In this episode you’ll learn: How your own expectations could be quietly creating tension in the saddle. Why “riding the horse you have” (not the one from training) is more than a cliché, it's a survival strategy. What happens when you hold your breath… and how it might be unraveling your round. A powerful "hula hoop" mindset to stay focused on what you can actually control. How to redefine success at shows to fuel learning instead of feeding self-criticism. Ways to use visualization and embodiment that go beyond imagining a perfect test, into truly feeling how you'll ride it. Practical competition prep tips to streamline logistics and reduce stress.
