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

I know, I know. I should just be going to have fun and do my best, not to 显示 anyone up, and I am, but oh my God, 你 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 你 have any tips that could help me? I do have one advantage: my horse knows 更多 than hers. Assuming I knew what I was doing, I could beat her in jumping, dressage, and Western 盛装舞步 (as if she'd ride like a "hick" in Western), but I don't. I'm still in the 羁, ter子, 吊带 and walk/trot classes phase. Still, unrealistic 或者 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 或者 such like that. But being (not overly) confident can make 你 look better than maybe 你 actually are. If someone looks like they know what they're doing, it can help your over all look.
But like 你 说 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 你 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!
