But it all starts with believing in yourself. Bethany, you re one of the best, most natural riders I've ever seen. Don't fall into the same traps I fell into. Never let your riding became a chore. When you are old and gray and sitting around writing a story like this to one of your own students, what you'll remember about your ride at the Novice Championships is not that you didn't win the dressage, but that you finished the day third.
Life is too short to waste time worrying.
