The Becky Diaries: Day 10: Stadium Jumping
















  1. Love all the video and your willingness to share it! Thank you Thank you Thank you!

  2. Awesome! Becky seems like a great teacher and a fun person: "You wanted more sass to that canter? You GOT it!" Lol.

    I really like her comment about sitting down like it's the beginning of the course at certain points. That's a good way of looking at it and resetting your brain so you don't get all strung out.

    Man, now I want to JUMP! :-D

  3. You are welcome, Amanda!

    And Frizz, she is perhaps the best teacher I have ever worked with. She's very positive and super generous to the horses, but won't fail to call you out -- still very fairly if you are repeating mistakes. She is also a ton of fun to be around and truly loves the horses and what she does.

    The "restart" button was so so so helpful, it really is a great strategy as that is a BIG weak point for me! A course can happen so quickly that just taking a breath for two strides can change everything.

  4. I have absolutely loved being an armchair spectator for your lessons with Becky. You need to write a book because you really explain it so well! She does sound like a fantastic teacher, one I know I would like since she's so positive (I'm a real "pleaser").

    I am going to file the "restart button" idea away with "things I MUST REMEMBER on course." That is a brilliant way of looking at things. I am the worst... I hold my breath, panic, forget where I'm going, etc. and that might really help me adjust my thinking. THANK YOU, and thanks to Becky, too!

  5. RW, you're welcome and I HOLD MY BREATH TOO! This is something I started recently and I don't know why, I need to quit. I talk so damn much the rest of the time, I don't know why I suddenly feel the urge to clam up on course!
