Hi there, was watching a video today about Tim Stockdale and he said before he goes into the ring he warms up about 4 horses beofre he is meant to go in, if u r on small courses then i would warm up about 6/8 horses before as they will go round fast, and then 2/4 riders before get off and just run threw in  your mind the course and think of any dodgy jumps and think about what you need to do to prevent a run out etc. and then hop back on and have a walk around the collecting ring and then go in and do your round. Just try and think about the course, i am going to do this at my next show because i pannick so much that i am realllllly worried about forgetting the course.     

Hi, I get really nervous too.

listen to some music before you go in and when youre in take a

huge deep breath and TAKE YOUR TIME. unless its bsja you do

walk around the arena abit, use your time.

whats the worst that will happen? if your worried about falling, aid yourself, body protector, gloves..ect.

hope this helps! lots of luck! x Ruth

Try jumping higher at home then you do in the class. Rememeber ther is nothing to be worried about just concentrate on your round stay relaxed and keep your leg on =]
