Having ridden in rodeos (amateur) the thing to watch is the rider's hand on the reins. Once you learn how to read a rein hand you will be ahead of the learning curve.

Count the number of people teaching photography and you would probably get just as many different answers. You need something that works for you now. After I had an illness and got older, I noticed that I had more difficulty holding the camera steady in hand held shots. I use the tripod more and VR capacity of my lenses.
I have had instructors that said take a lot of photos on a shoot and those that say be more selective. I don't believe that there is only one way to be the kind of photographer you want to be. Listen carefully to your instructor but you are the judge of how possible that is for you. Practice may make you better but I would rather shoot continuous than miss a shot completely. You also might be a little too impatient with yourself. Catching the moment in any sport is a difficult process.

Talk to the riders- ask them if there are motions or key signals they may "telegraph" when making a turn or certain move. Some may tell you since you are not competing against them.You may have to do this after hours at the local bar, and buy a few rounds,but it may be helpful. Watch when the riders are training their horses, rather than competing- you'll see more exaggerated signals.

If you can try doing the training lessons on the horse yourself so you will know, just like the horse, what the signal is when it comes.

There is medication for ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder). The adults that take it say it has changed their lives. And they don't ever want to miss a dose. Many struggled through school even though they were very smart. Then they were diagnosed with ADD and the medication allowed them to focus. That seems to be more the solution to your stuggle than anything else. There are many support groups
http://www.add.org/
is one and may help you find the right Doctor for diagnosis. My coworkers that have ADD take a drug called Concerta. If you do have ADD it is for life so get the help you need.
