I prepare my Competitions well in advance, and on a yearly basis I have always set goals for myself and my horses.

This year’s goal is to make good results in WC qualifications,this is my personal goal, that do not bring me more into the equestrian sport circuit,this weekend will be Alain 3*WC,next weekend 4*WC  in Abu Dhabi,  2 weeks later 5* WC in Dubai and the last 5* WC I Sharjah.
My horses travel to competitions with professional transport company and  it costs around 80 euro per horse, the journey takes about 4 hours, 2 hours by car one way.
Veterinarian  check is Wednesday afternoon, I ride my horses home before departure, so that I can travel to show Thursday morning.
At the international events I live in a hotel about 10 min from the show ground, then I can check the horses constantly but not so much that the grooms or horses  get tired of me?.

I’m a control freak??
Kylix gets longed 5 min Every  morning at shows,groundwork in time before his class, and  2nd ride including 3 to 4 jumps from trot,then he get a short break, before he enters the arena,this is the best way to get  to a clear round.this is a system that fits kylix now for more than 2 years.
Cash gets a  short  morning lunge in gallop of 5 min and a good  handwalk each morning at shows.
Short Lunge  before I sit up to compeet, then a easy warming up  process,  where I jump about 5 to 7 jumps overall before entering the course.

I never jump the same height at home as i jump at competitions, and I do exercises the most.
My horses are happy, and happy horse really do what they can, to make  the rider happy,horses are very sensible,they can’t know who you are angry at,so always  show your love to  your horse even if you have personal issue.

Of course i ride my horses groundwork,it is probably my strongest side, my system is unique and for a rider who wants to stay in  the sport having a sound horse for longer should strongly learn my system,its different,easy to follow,and for every kind of horse.
Its a consistent work not the easy trip that many riders today choose to take..
