Today I’m chatting about...the armchair spectator. We’ve all been there. You’re warming up, or even worse, starting your test, your round, your class - and you hear the “innocent” comment. Maybe it’s about your attire or your tack or the breed/type of your horse (most common for me personally). It’s difficult enough to be in a sport that is as subjective as ours without outside input from spectators. • From showing unconventional breeds in recognized Dressage (especially in the FEI) I’ve learned not only to tune out the haters, but also to have grace when I encounter them. This sport needs to be kinder, we all know that. So as hard as it is, if someone says something that unsettles me in the moment, I process the following: Was their comment made with actual bad intent? Or just poorly timed? If it truly was in poor taste, you will not change their opinion. And further, confrontation is the last thing that will make any real difference. Let it go and let it be. To combat the negative, spread kindness in return. Complement someone’s turnout or horse, wish your fellow competitors good luck, and congratulate the competitor you follow. I always make an effort to at least exchange a smile and nod. Be a sportsman, and let those with a negative opinion see that light. • Before this test, a spectator (who was not competing) walked up to me and implied (negatively) that my horse was a “different type.” Wow, you think?! Because Arabians and warmbloods are so similar, am I right?? instead of snapping back, I smiled politely and continued on. I’ve frequently seen that it is those who are not in your position who have something to say. Own your own journey. Whatever show you’re at, you are the one who earned that honor to be there in that moment. Just after that interaction, another group said how nice it was to see an Arabian at Devon and that they couldn’t wait to watch my ride. Those are the people to keep in your mind. I promise there’s always a cheerleader in the crowd. And if there isn’t? Ride for the rider you were when you began. Because I promise they would be proud. And when you’re on the rail yourself, keep your comments kind. The only story you know is your own.
