This week’s Trainer Tip Tuesday looks a little different! 🏆🐴

We’re so excited for our IEA and IHSA teams to head to their first shows of the season this weekend! With competition right around the corner, we’re shifting our focus to show-day preparation and building a consistent pre-ride routine.

A good ride starts before you get in the saddle. Having a routine helps you manage nerves, build confidence, and stay focused on what you can control, even in an unfamiliar show environment.

This week’s Trainer Tip Tuesday breaks down how to prepare your mind and body for the show ring:

📖 Read: Pre-Ride Routines 101 and learn why consistency and mental preparation matter.
🧘 Prepare: Build your own pre-ride routine with breathing, visualization, and goal-setting exercises.
🐎 Ride: Put your routine into practice by setting an intention, finding your focus, and learning to reset when things don’t go as planned.

Remember, the goal isn’t perfection. It’s having a plan you can return to, no matter what happens in the ring.

Good luck to all our riders competing this weekend! We can’t wait to cheer you on! 🤍

📖 Head to our story to read this week’s article, and save this post to practice your routine before show day!
