hi i’m new here so bear (or is it bare?) with me please.
So i was quite a confident rider when i was a child but i stopped riding for the most part of a decade. Now at 20 years old, I have actively and happily gotten back into riding.
I am currently part loaning a lovely cob who is fantastic to ride and has given me so much of my confidence back.
However, whenever i go for lessons on the school ponies, i do TERRIBLY. I ride like i’ve got no clue what i’m doing. None of my techniques work and i look awful.
Then i go home to my loan horse and ride like a pro.
I have no clue what’s going on and my instructors just treat me like a beginner.
It might be good to note, on the school ponies I have to use a crop when i’m riding. I don’t do this with my loan horse because I love him and the idea of hurting him hurts me. Could this have anything to do with it?
tips and advice are appreciated! thanks for reading
