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! 🏇🏽💭✨

This is just a little reminder that there is way more to being a horse trainer then just riding and teaching. Sometimes it’s cleaning stalls and feeding, other times it’s driving a tractor or pulling a trailer, it can even be things like plumbing or carpentry. Today I put in on my best carpentry hat and built some jumps. Very excited to continue dressing up the arena at Saddle Time!

We had a great time at the OHJA year end awards banquet last night. We are so thankful for this group of fun loving girls and their supportive families. We can’t wait to see what the 2024 show season has in store for us!

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

At LamBanks Equestrian we believe in continuing education. Lindsey Banks and Could Be Bigger “Arthur” spent their weekend learning from Olympian Anne Kursinski at Hill Country Riding Academy in Texas.

Both horse and rider’s abilities were stretched and tested but they are leaving the clinic better then they started.

Big thanks to Stephanie Santanello Cook for hosting and to the Selzler’s and Saddle Time for the use of Arthur.

We wrapped up our fall show season at Stewart Equine Enterprises Fall Fest. We had a great time showing. We had extra fun today dressing up both horses and humans up as super heroes.

I am so happy with the improvements these girls have made this year!

And we can’t forget who the real super heroes are, the Saddle Time school horses! Rose, Shadow, and Moon(and all the others) are excellent teachers, and I couldn’t do my job without them.

Team work makes the dream work! We are looking forward to a great day at the Revery Equine, LLC schooling show tomorrow.
