Though natural born talent can provide you with great benefits in the show ring, this gift can only take you so far when it comes to overall success. Being a talented rider is important, but there are qualities that you can acquire that will allow you to perform to the best of your ability. Here are...

9 Facts About Perfectionism: A mindset that must be unlearned or will ultimately bring your riding down 🧠

1. Every rider makes mistakes, even the best of the best.
It’s an unavoidable, universal experience and all a part of the sport.

2. Mistakes are learning opportunities.
You can grow from them and become better because of them.

3. Hyper-focusing on mistakes helps them happen.
They both become a self-fulfilling prophecy and take your focus away from your ride.

4. Mistakes mean you’re on the right track.
You can’t improve, learn, overcome challenges, and level up without them.

5. It’s not what happened but how you move forward from it that matters the most.
Moving on from the mistake matters more than the mistake itself.

6. Mistakes are temporary.
Work to fix and put them in the past instead of dwelling and allowing them to stick around.

7. Mistakes don’t define you.
You may have had a bad ride, but that doesn’t mean you’re a bad rider.

8. Social media only shows highlights.
Everyone is struggling whether they post about it or not.

9. Perfect doesn’t exist.
It’s impossible to meet unattainable expectations.

A perfectionist mindset and a lack of an ability to accept mistakes will do much more harm than good for an athlete’s mental performance. Mistakes are a normal part of sport and life. Everyone makes mistakes no matter how talented of an athlete they may be. Since perfect doesn’t exist, holding yourself to an unrealistic standard will only set you up for disappointment every ride. Instead, give yourself permission to make mistakes, using them to your advantage by viewing them as valuable feedback and learning opportunities. Refer to this post whenever you begin to feel hard on yourself, and remember that you are not alone! 🏇🏽💭✨

Late post from last weekend. Our Bernie clinic got postponed but our NCE riders showed up for a great group lesson with Tasha. Starting with a challenging flat session then continuing to jumping with the same fundamentals had us challenged but having fun! This was the best lesson. We all had fun and can't wait to do it again! Swipe to see why we all made the most of the Bernie delay...

Sending a huge thanks to Skyler and Tiffany for the photos and to Tasha for the great group lesson!

Eddie Outtakes ❤️

Spring Spec week 1. The best weekend with the best horses! I have too many good pictures thanks to . Love that our hobbies coexist!
🥇Elaina and Tilly were the most consistent yet winning 1st or 2nd in every class and ending champion in the children's ponies with a win in the classic as well. So proud of this pair!
🏆 Natalie and Django were 4th in the classic and jumped amazing all weekend for ribbons in every class!
🥉Jess and Lucie were 3rd in the classic with a clear and fast first round but an unfortunate detour in the jump off. Fun and adrenaline took over Jessica's brain cells! Lucie is the best girl ever and Jess can't wait to get to redeem herself! 😊😂 They also won a speed class earlier in the week.
🎖️ Eddie spent the week camping out at the show and behaved himself perfectly ever time he went in the ring. He had minimal baby moments and impressed us with his willingness all week. Eddie we just love you and your sweet personality.

Thanks so much to for all your positive and encouraging training and for making it so much fun for us all.

Another week with the bestest boy

05/13/2024

We had a great weekend showing at Lamplight Spring 1! Nisha and Milo had so much fun and earned great ribbons! They were 2nd in the 2' derby and reserve champion in the 2' ushja hunters at their first show together! Elaina and Tilly won the children's pony medal and won the classic and got great ribbons in the children's ponies! Natalie got the remaining points to qualify for the medal final and is now qualified for medal/maclay/jump seat medal finals. Charlotte and her new partner Eeyore had consistant rounds and a double clear for a 2nd place finish in the 1.10. Jess took Milo around the 2'6 derby and was 2nd and rode Roy in a few adult medal classes. Swipe left to the end to find out why we actually do this crazy sport. It's all about hugging your ponies. Looking forward to next week for spring 2 with Milo and then a big group of NCE horses going to the Tower Hill Show! So excited for it!

So proud of this new team! Nisha and Milo earned ribbons in every class including a win! But that smile is worth more than anything. They had fun!

Millie's first rider ✅
So many fun moments today! 😊
Tasha has given positive, consistent groundwork since Millie arrived and today was the day she was ready for the next step. Millie was unflappable and didn't care about any of it. She loves the praise and attention. We love the gentle and patient approach that Tasha uses to start babies. You have a gift Tasha! Thanks to Natalie for trusting the process and being willing to climb on. This is what it's all about and why I love bringing youngsters along. Days like these! ♥️

Started with smiles ⏩⏩ Ended with smiles! A fantastic day of riding at ESP Spring 2 with both Natalie and Charlotte going double clear in both 1.10 classes. Natalie and Django won the power and speed and Char and Eeyore finished 6th. In the NAL 1.10 classic Natalie ended up 4th and Char 7th. The smiles say it all!

A year is the standard I set for myself to build a relationship with a new horse. This is a great reminder.
