Got a disappointing dressage score? (Like me? 🙋‍♀️)

Here's what to do... and what NOT to do.

✅ DO:

Read the judge's comments before looking at the score.
Find one or two themes to work on—not twenty.
Remember that test riding is a skill in itself. Improve your geometry, accuracy, planning, and presentation every time you enter the arena.
Have a 30-second pity party. (Credit to Coach Daniel Stewart.) Be sad, then. Then let it go and get back to work.
Thank your horse. They showed up for you.
Ask yourself, "What is this test trying to teach me?"
Make a plan for your very next ride.

❌ DON'T:

Decide you're a terrible rider.
Compare your score to everyone else's.
Blame your horse, the judge, or your trainer. Own it. That's where improvement begins.
Spend the rest of the day telling everyone how disappointed you are. Chin up! Learn from it and move forward.
Be embarrassed. Trust me—everyone else is too busy obsessing over their test to worry about yours. 😉
Quit.

Remember this:

One dressage test is data—not your identity.

The riders who improve the fastest aren't the ones who never score a 58%.

They're the ones who use that score as fuel for the next ride.

Every ribbon fades.
Every score is forgotten.
But every lesson you learn stays with you.

Your score is one moment in time—not the measure of your potential.

So if your test didn't go the way you hoped...

Feel it. Learn from it. Then ride forward. ❤️ Oh and love yourself. You are amazing!

Don’t chase perfection, it rarely comes. Chase memories. 🖤🐴
