Horse show Sunday

I drove out to the farm after work to ride one last time before the show on Sunday. If practice goes late enough on Saturday, I might ride then also. Horses are unpredictable. After a test last year, the rider mentioned that Hope "was forward." However on my test, the judge said to "encourage Hope before she runs out of steam." Hope doesn't like to stand still. And the smallest tug on the bridle caused her to move backward. I tend to lean back and pull during a transition and need to stay straight and pull and release. The 20 meter circles need to be round and the correct size. I need to stay on the right diagonal during the rising trot...rising when Hope's front leg is front. I woke during a thunderstorm last night, thinking about the show. I wonder why I stress myself with competition. Deep breaths.
