Article From SubmitYOURArticle.com: How to become a Top Horse Rider -The Three Crucial Factors

Most horse riders who ride competitively want to
become the top of their field whether it be
dressage, jumping or eventing. But do successful
riders all share certain qualities that help them
reach the top? According to studies carried out
on successful people there are certain common
traits that successful people all share

1. Practise. One of those traits is the
discipline and dedication to constantly practise
your riding skills.If you want to become a top
rider you need to place yourself in a situation
were you are able to ride as many days of the
week and for as many hours as possible.
Preferably you should be under the supervision of
a good horse trainer who can constantly correct
your faults. You need a horse trainer who has a
good eye for detail and who has a good track
record for training horses and riders.

2 Fitness and a healthy diet.

To ride at your best you must be fit and healthy.
A lot of riders believe that just riding their
horse is enough, but many of the top Olympic
riders also train in other ways, such as going to
the gym or jogging. Nowadays those riders who are
shortlisted for the Olympics consult both a
nutritionist and a fitness expert not just for
their horse but also for themselves. If you want
to become a top rider you must start watching
your fitness and diet to give you a head start
over your competitors.

3 Determination.

You will often over hear people at competitions
commenting "oh he or she wins because they have
wealthy parents, an amazing horse, an indoor
arena" etc. No one gets to the top unless they
have unwavering determination. Virtually all of
the top riders have suffered set backs and
failures. Many riders have not come from
privileged backgrounds but even those lucky
enough to have family financial support have
still worked very hard to achieve a top place.
Without determination you will stop at the first
or second obstacle that is placed in your way.

So if your dream is to become a top horse rider

Decide on a plan of action.
1. Try to ride as often as possible under the
supervision of a good horse trainer.
2.Follow a separate exercise plan such as pilates
for horse riders and watch what you eat.
3. However many set backs you may have, remember
what your goal is and keep taking small steps
towards achieving it.
