The Importance of Pattern Practice at Home with Andrea Fappani

Andrea Fappani Video Tip Series

In this video brought to you by Polyglycan, hear from $8 Million Dollar NRHA rider and expert horseman, Andrea Fappani, about the importance of pattern practice at home. No matter your discipline, this is an important step. Andrea believes that taking time to practice patterns at home will help you stay sharp for show day. He says, “Lack of preparation is one of the most common mistakes I see when people go show. It’s not so much that something is happening at the show. It’s probably happened 100 times at home but you didn’t pay much attention to it.”

Andrea clarifies, “I don’t think it’s a good idea to do every day, but I think more often than not, most people don’t do it enough.”

Check out how Andrea prepares for a show, at home, at the video below. And find more from this champion trainer HERE.
