Hi all
I think Im beginning to get a bit more confident, last night I was faced with my yo giving me a lesson on her horse in the school or to take my part loan out for a hack.
After such a bad day at work couldnt face any more thinking just wanted to be at one with horse and world.
I have not been out on my own for around 9 months, due to me being scared and then horse being lame, normally my oh comes with me and when I get anxious I get off and he gets on.
So put on her bridle, thought sod it she prefers bear back so lets go with it, another rider said I was brave (who me! dont think so ) and had the most relaxed hack out, only walked and trot. She did put in a couple of refusals and a spook but I was totally in control.
Me hoping that I have finally overcome my biggest hurdle of being anxious
Would love to hear of other peoples stories of getting over the anxiety of horse riding.
