In this episode we’re talking about what it means to be show ready after Nikki just recently went to her first horse show in 2 years with her horse Ford. We talk about a lot in this episode, but specifically we dive into: Is your horse ready (Physically, mentally, emotionally)? Are you prepared? (Literally - do you have the time to plan, pack and physically get there), mentally, psychologically? Do you feel supported/have a team? Why are you entering a show, competition or race? What are your intentions (experience for you or your horse, to win, have fun)? What are your goals - are they SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, time bound)? When should you decide not to go or to scratch?
