Rewind, Delete and Replay!!
Think of an old fashioned tape recorder where we had these three functions.
This can be useful in your own training when something might go slightly wrong. First pause and take a breath. Rewind what happened. Could you do it another way, what was the mistake, why might that have happened.
Go forward with your solution in your head and delete what happened before.
There was a great example of this in an interview with Ros Canter. She said that in the warm up before her dressage test her flying changes started to go wrong! She calmly came back to walk, thought about how she normally rides them, and then went on to ride them. Simple, calm and measured.
In jumping you might have had an awkward jump.
Again, come back to walk, rewind. Was it your line, speed or position? It will be one or maybe all of those!! Work out which one. Move on and jump the fence.
