I was wondering how you all get on with life vs horses. I dont know about anyone else but I have always really struggled with my confidence in many aspects and as soon as I get a knock in one place it affects my riding and how I feel about my riding etc. I guess this has been an accumulation of events over the years, as well as horsey accidents, so called horsey friends that put you down, leave you out, yard owners etc but also life events that we all have relationship breakdown, death of relatives or animals, moving etc.
I really envy the women out there that always seem to be able to put their riding first and ride come rain or shine, and do all the things that they want to do, just go for it.
And another one is feeling guilty for taking time out for myself - which again impacts on the riding. I love my horse to bits but feel sorry for him half the time having me as a mum as im so up and down with all this stuff- and can only aspire to be the rider i want to be as sometimes it feels like I will never get there!
Dont think the winter does much for you anyway does it, not much time to ride which = more guilt!
anyway would love to hear how everyone else gets on with all this stuff xx
