For those of you who have made a "comeback" to competition, you have likely experienced a range of emotions regarding that decision and your identity as a competitor. In some ways, it's hard to categorize yourself. You're not a beginner, but you're definitely not at the top of your game either.
I've talked about my return to the show pen on my blog at sheridestowin.com and also on Facebook and Instagram. But today, I wanted to give you a recap of my first show experience. How it went, how I felt about how it went, and how I will do things differently next time.
You'll also hear from my friend and health and fitness coach for riders, Andrea Otley as we tackle your burning questions... If you have health and fitness questions for future episodes, please send them in to our contact page.
