Riders can always benefit from each other disciplines. In this video by Farm Advisor TV from last week’s Equitana Sydney various trainers provide some nuggets of wisdom that apply across the board
“Don’t be afraid of being right or wrong because the horse doesn’t look at right or wrong, just have fun for starters”
“It’s 90% mental preparation and 10% exercises”
“The best trainers in the world have always been able to play it like a musical instrument”
“I think what helps you handle your nerves is your preparation” (that one sounds like Jon Pitts!)
“It’s about a shot of tequila for him really” (we love that one by the Double Dans on nerves)
