That time I Flunked My Audition

I walked into my audition, heart pounding, brain spinning, trying to convince myself I was ready.

I had sung my heart out at home. I knew the lyrics inside and out. I wanted that part more than anything.

But the moment I stood there, under the lights, in front of those judging eyes and that tousled blond theater-man hair…

I wilted.

I barely squeaked out a note.

The truth? No matter how much I had practiced my notes… I wasn’t ready. Not really.

I had put in the hours. I had trained my voice. I had rehearsed every run and every breath.
And yet, when it actually mattered—when I needed to perform—I fell apart.

Because I hadn’t trained the one thing that actually makes or breaks you in moments like these.

🧠 My mindset.

And it’s the same thing I see riders struggle with every single day.

You put in the hours. You train your horse. You drill your patterns until they’re second nature.
But when you step into the pen? Doubt creeps in. Your nerves hijack your body. You hesitate, and your horse feels it.

Because skill alone isn’t enough.

The best riders don’t just train harder. They train smarter.
They train their minds to show up under pressure the same way they train their horses to perform.

👉 That’s exactly why I created the Ride Like a Pro Masterclass.

And if you missed it? The replay is up—but not for long.
