Think like a champion!
Want to have that edge over your competitors in the show ring? There is a lot to know when
it comes to showing and knowing how to win. Hopefully some of these tips will help you on
your way to a season of success!
Know the rules
Every discipline comes with its own set of rules and regulations, this includes the type of gear
allowed in each class or level; to time limits allowed to get in the ring, or through the flags after the judges bell. Know the rules so you don’t end up losing points or being eliminated over
something silly! In dressage the penalty for incorrect gear can range from losing a couple of
points to being eliminated. The difference between winning a ribbon or not, could be in those
lost two points. That would be so disappointing at the end of the day!
