The analytics and the learning happen when you practice. But when you get out there on course, you have to ride what you've got. <br />Sounds like an educational day!Stacie Seidmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11421021003654717894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-63110321301111556662019-11-23T13:45:47.085-08:002019-11-23T13:45:47.085-08:00Sounds like a lot of really good advice coming fro...Sounds like a lot of really good advice coming from him!

That’s exactly sorta what I’m thinking too. A...Yes. That’s exactly sorta what I’m thinking too. And why I liked that first quote from the book too much. Whether information is good or evil, whether it improves or detracts from performance, I think depends in large part on focusing on the *right* pieces of information at the right time. And not letting the other stuff drag or bog me down. Letting go of the noise and focusing on what will actually help me “get it done.” Bc yea. Turns out riding is both simple and so so so hard simultaneously lolemmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-13261573709906191772019-11-22T09:59:23.483-08:002019-11-22T09:59:23.483-08:00I really enjoyed my conversations with him!I really enjoyed my conversations with him!emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-24274386204010408202019-11-22T09:59:11.185-08:002019-11-22T09:59:11.185-08:00Haha for real tho I love the precision and exactit...Haha for real tho I love the precision and exactitude that you describe in equitation. Only problem is..... I’m only “stylish” as a rider if you mean *that* sort of style lol . Equitation rider I am NOT !! But yea there’s definitely something to be said for just getting out there and getting it done. I need to remind myself that that’s what competitions are all about - at that point you’re not training any more, you’re doing! emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-67829309273547153362019-11-22T09:56:36.406-08:002019-11-22T09:56:36.406-08:00I think that success can come from many different ...I think that success can come from many different mindsets. Some people are ‘big picture’ and others ‘detail oriented ‘ (overly simplistic but valid nonetheless). The trick is using it for good rather than evil and to develop the other skills to use when needed. Does this even make sense?TeresaAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05311118900077951863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-82858857864796709892019-11-22T07:05:56.175-08:002019-11-22T07:05:56.175-08:00Yes.

And yet, I ended up in the Equitation, which is very much a 'get it right' kind of riding discipline. You need the right step, the right pace, the right distance, the right number of (even) strides, a correct lead change, etc. I think that is why I like it, it doesn't come easy to me, and makes me work on my weakest points as a rider.<br /><br />Maybe we should switch disciplines :D Shaunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17348396578251983461noreply@blogger.com
