My 11 year old daughter competed in her 1st horse show away from her regular stable. She was nervous and anxious before the show. I shared with her my point of view that all she needed to do was focus on doing her best and enjoying the experience. I told her as long as she did that and learned from it so she could improve in the future she would be a success.
I'm a believer in competition and I believe losing can be a good thing if you use it to improve. Of course winning is a great thing in it tells you what you did right. I also believe you need to enjoy the process win or lose. So we went to support her and enjoy her riding.
She rode in five events @ the Rainbow Ranch Horse Show and got 2 - 1st place ribbons, 3- third place ribbons and received the Champion of the show ribbon for best performance overall.
She did fantastic and of course I'm a proud father. I'm especially blessed to watch her live her passion for horses and riding,
Success is living your passion.
