Riding at any level is a demanding and, at times, frustrating sport. Every rider encounters problems and experiences feelings of inadequacy, whether attempting to master a particular dressage movement or trying to summon up the courage to tackle a larger-than-usual showjumping course. Often this self-doubt can grow and grow until the problem seems insurmountable, and the subsequent disillusionment and loss of confidence will make the sport more of a pain than a pleasure.
