How do I Показать up the stable snob at a Показать tomorrow?

I know, I know. I should just be going to have fun and do my best, not to Показать anyone up, and I am, but oh my God, Ты have not seen how arrogant this girl is. She thinks she is soooo much better than everyone and refuses to associate herself with "average" riders. I won't fret if I lose to her, and I know I will, but it would be fantastic if a beginner (started riding in December) like me beat a self-proclaimed expert like her. And she is good. I know expecting to beat her in this millennia is unreal, but do Ты have any tips that could help me? I do have one advantage: my horse knows еще than hers. Assuming I knew what I was doing, I could beat her in jumping, dressage, and Western объездка лошадей, выездка, выездке (as if she'd ride like a "hick" in Western), but I don't. I'm still in the недоуздок, бретель через шею and walk/trot classes phase. Still, unrealistic или not, I'd like to win, not only to beat her no matter how fun that'd be, but to well, win. Like I said, I'll have a blast even if I take last in everything, but how she irks me, I'd enjoy beating her. Ideas?

I understand where you're coming from. Confidence is everything hun. Note, not arrogance like this girl you're talking about. I don't have any riding tips или such like that. But being (not overly) confident can make Ты look better than maybe Ты actually are. If someone looks like they know what they're doing, it can help your over all look.
But like Ты сказал(-а) having fun is the most important thing. Even if she wins, she might be miserable doing it. If you're able to have a great time regardless, in my opinion that makes Ты better in your own way.
I hope that helps even just a little. Have a great time girl! Do your best and good luck!

Thanks for the advice! It worked! In the one class we shared, I placed, and she didn't. It really bothered her, too:) Other than that, I also placed in two other classes. I would've got 2nd in trot pole bending if my horse hadn't cantered two strides. Oh, well. I still took 5th. Thanks so much for the tips. They really helped!
