Maeve nodded as she bent down and picked up a leaf off the path. She was glad that she wasn't the only one here who didn't have any prior experience to showing, just riding, but she was still going to keep that to herself. "I think it could be fun." She said with a nod. "As long as you don't allow the competitive energy around you get the best of you, or your horse." She'd read somewhere that some horses love the atmosphere at a competition and they seemed to feed from it.
Maeve giggled at the comment about the other girl's horse, though she felt it wiser not to make a comment about horses and riders often reflecting each other's best, or worst, traits. "I'm sure that you would prefer her stubbornness to complete submissiveness." There were too many people who happily broke in horses by breaking their spirit, and at least with a little character, there was also spirit in there too.
