These tips are so true! I train with my cousin in higher level riding (note I say “higher” and I use that term loosely. My horse and I are in intermediate equitation patterns at the moment) but I teach beginner lessons. I tell my students to go home and watch The Man From Snowy River and keep Jim in mind.
Position helps, but you gotta have guts too.

Ironically I already do all of these!!!! And I completley agree. WEe have to constantly be thinking in the arena and so it’s important. I ALWAYS soak in images of riders into my memory and try to pretend that I’m that rider, or that I am really good. Just create the image in your mind that you are riding wonderfully and are in perfect harmony with your horse. It really boosts up your confidence!!!

Good advice! As a CHA riding instructor these are some of the same things I’ve told clients, and myself!
