#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Congrats on the good show Mystic!#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#As for your coach, I would just ignore it. If you see her at another show and are on the ground, you can always sweetly say hi, then let that be that. I am sure it is a factor of jealousy, and if so, then you just ignore it and let you and your horse show her where she should stand.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Az- Don't worry, it will all come. The best thing is to just go to a bunch of shows and do lots of flat classes where you feel comfortable, and work your way up. It will come. Mystics advice of breathing is very good. I do that myself, actually. I don't talk, but after every turn the fence, as soon as I am straight on to the line I take a deep breath. I find it relaxes both me and horse.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
