Equestrian Performance Mindset

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

Listen Later

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.
