It’s important to remember that competing and showing isn’t just about winning — especially in this sport! It’s one of the things that makes equestrian sports so unique: yes, you want to be competitive, but you’re also partnered with a living being that also has its own thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Sometimes, that makes for a big win, others make for homework, lessons learned, or maybe even a bruised ego. No matter what your result this weekend, remember to also celebrate the small wins — a point shaved off a dressage score, a clear jumping round, or just a happy, healthy horse is just as much cause for celebration as a win or a ribbon!
This week’s Unofficial Low Score Award was earned at Galway Downs, where Melissa Nice and Fun and Games won their Novice division on a score of 20.8. Nicely done!
