Hey hope everyone is doing good
so i had my 1st lesson back since the start of lockdown a year ago
Prior to this i could walk/trot/canter okie.
I was assigned a lovely cob type horse
And was told hes a bit speedy/forward.
I was given him as the 2 other ladies in my lesson hadnt ridden in a longer time
Iv not ridden a forward/lively horse before and it really unsettled me as he was throwing his head speeding up not stopping spinning ect.
Hes an absolute gentlemen its just i feel as tho i wasn't ready for that type of horse yet.
As the lesson went on my confidence plummeted and my instructor ended up having to hold him or run along side as we were trotting. I could see and feel that he was becoming frustrated with me as the lesson went on threw no fault of his own .
i feel he needed somone more confident that me.
Would i be best to ring and ask for a different maybe slower horse
And i would really really appreciate any advice in riding more forward horses
Thank you
