A qualified equestrian learns from equestrianism not only how to "ride", but also how to take care of horses, respect for another life, their own sense of responsibility, and the quality of hard work and humility.
"It's not my fault"
Whoever is at fault, if it happens, you have to admit it. Instead of spending time struggling with whose mistakes it is, it is better to find a way to solve them as soon as possible, and try to avoid the occurrence of problems as much as possible, and do what you can to control, which is the best way to add value to yourself and your horses.
"It's not my job"
"I paid for the horse, not to clean up the horse dung." This is true, but as an equestrian, you often learn more from cleaning up horse manure, tending to the horse, and preparing and unloading the saddle. A qualified equestrian rider should not only be able to ride, but also be able to take care of the horses and work hard. In the process of taking care of the horse, it can also cultivate the emotional connection between the rider and the horse, which is also a help for the ride.
"I don't have time to warm up!"
This is probably the most hated phrase by coaches. Riders need to plan ahead for their training and warm-up during the event. If you can't warm up your horse slowly before riding, you can't ride a horse. The arrangement can be compact, but a warm-up is essential.
"xxx is a bad horse"
Blaming a bad horse is never something an equestrian man should do. If it's not your horse, you have less power to blame it; if it's your horse, you should blame yourself for why you can't ride it well and turn it into a good horse. Try to improve yourself and help the horses to ascend.
"It's not fair"
Equestrianism is indeed an "unfair" sport. The state of the horse is high and low, and the state of the rider is also high and low; when you and the horse are in good shape, it may happen that the other horses are in better shape. Instead of always falling into a trough and self-doubt, think about how to improve yourself and adjust your mindset. Control what you can control, slowly accumulate, success will always belong to you.
"He won the championship entirely because he had a good horse"
It is true that good horses bring more possibilities to a certain extent, but to win in any race, it is not just "having a good horse" that can be satisfied. Behind every successful pair of people and horses there are countless hardships and efforts. There are no always victorious generals in the equestrian arena, and find ways to improve themselves, rather than "envy and envy and hate".
Judge the other riders
In either case, you shouldn't negatively comment on someone else's riding skills or work. You can point out or communicate with each other when you see problems, but you shouldn't judge others. Be humble and kind to others and encourage others, especially beginners or those in the learning process.
