Im really nervous about a horseshow i have tomorrow as i am riding 2 very different pony's. I am riding one thats scared of fillers in a 2"3, and i have to really hold him back. After that class i have got a 2"9 class with a pony you have to kick on and ride into every fence. Help!! Any ideas on how to cope?
Loooves

Answers:
the best thing to do is stop worrying lol, you know the horses r gonna pick up on it.
If you can get some bachs rescue remedy (its a herbal calmer) and take it as often as you need to (following printed instructions of course)
Secondly just give it your best and treat it like any other day (easier said then done i know) and be safe in the knowledge whatever happens it's all experience and you and the horses tried their best.
Good Luck Alex, i'll keep my fingers crossed.
PS don't push too hard in the warming up, just take it easy
i dont understand ur question its very confusing can u re-word it
just tell yourself that you can do it!! and dont worry.
Nerves are just part of it - we all suffer from them! Make sure you are well prepared and you have loads of time to get them ready. At least you know both the ponies and by this time tomorrow it will all be over. Try some positive thinking.eg " I am going to ride to the best of my ability and get pony 1 over all the fillers" and "I will warm up both the ponies so they are really listening to me and jumping well"
I find my nerves disappear when I get on my horse so I hope yours do too... don't look at and worry about other people.. often the ones that look fantastic in the warm-up have 3 refusals at the first fence!
Good luck and don't forget to enjoy yourself.
i will help you
Be positive. Clear your mind. Remember a horse can sense your fears and worries!!
Try Bach Flower Remedies (and read the series Heartland if you haven't already)
here are some which i think are suitable for you:
( i got the information of this website ages ago)
Fear Group
Cherry Plum
Rock Rose
Red Chestnut
Aspen
Mimulus
Uncertainty Group
Cerato
Gorse
Gentian
Hornbeam
Scleranthus
Wild Oat
Aspen - For unknown fears, vague fears and apprehension, perhaps unable to express fears of spirit/psychic/ strange places, etc. Anxious of coming events. Shakiness or fluttering tummy. Very useful for children with fears of dark, also agoraphobia. Aspen brings relief from these uneasy feelings.
Cerato - This essence helps those who lack faith in their own judgement and who look for the opinions of others when decisions are necessary. Unable to listen to their "inner voice" or nature. Cerato removes the blockage between the higher self and the mind, enabling them always to be guided correctly.
Cherry Plum - For fear of losing control of the mind/nervous breakdown. Snappy, on edge, wanting to scream or be violent, either to self or others. Saying things completely out of character, but unable to stop oneself. Irrational behaviour. Many women experience these negative traits during PMT. Characterised in the acute negative state by wide, staring eyes. Cherry Plum brings calmness, control and peace.
Gentian - For those lacking in faith, whether in themselves or the Creator. This lack bringing the mental state of becoming disappointed at setbacks. A known depression. "Doubting Thomas" type, or those never having found their spiritual being. Gentian brings the ability to see that all things are working to the right end thereby taking away the dejection.
Gorse - Deep hopelessness, sadness, often suffered by those with long term illness. If this negative state has taken root there may be dark rings under the eyes. As Gorse is taken so the darkness will change to light.
Hornbeam - For those taking a long time to "come round" when waking, still tired after a good nights sleep. Usually a kind of mental/boredom tiredness, the kind you often get after a day spent doing nothing, bringing on a feeling of procrastination. Do not confuse with Wild Rose. Hornbeam refreshes the mind.
Mimulus - For all known fears, fear of lifts, heights, spiders, water, etc., fear of anything material. Those needing this essence may be timid, shy, nervous, sensitive to crowds, loud noises, bright lights; they may stammer or blush easily. As Mimulus is taken, so they will become courageous and these negative states will fade away.
Red Chestnut - For those always fearing and worrying for others, always fearing the worst; if one of the family are late home "they must have had an accident". Often no fear for themselves. As Red Chestnut is taken these negative fears turn to positive optimism.
Rock Rose - Terror, keen fear or blind panic. Useful for those suffering from nightmares, panic attacks. Give to the helpers as well as the sufferer in extremely fearful situations, as strong negative vibrations spread to those around, hindering their work.
Scleranthus - Unable to choose between two things. Indecision. Weighing things up they will urn %26 ah, taking a long time to reach a decision. All of this has to do with balance, so in the negative state can cause stumbling, shakiness, vertigo, mood swings, etc. This essence brings an inner balance and a decisive character.
Wild Oat - For those unable to see their true path in life, wishing to find the vocation right for them. Each person is put on earth to serve a Divine purpose; something which will come easily and naturally to them and which they will enjoy doing above all else. This essence will help them to see the right path.
