Well im trying to build my confidence again. determined from last friday to ride everyday. Friend came to ride my girl and she stood on a stone and bruised her sole!! poor babe but poor me.. had to give her a rest so no riding again.. got back on her yesterday and did a couple of laps of the sand arena.. she seemed to be walking funny so i jumped off to see what she was like without me, only to find out the martingale ring was stuck round her bit! got back on and would she hell move:stomp: Could hear her thinking, no way you've had ya chance,!!! today rode again and did a little walk but soon as i asked for trot she seemed to rear a little so frightened myself again.. im like a jelly !! anyway girl helped me get her going and she was fine, just think she was trying me out after yesterday and of course i dont have the confidence to take control fully..but continued to ride for 20 mins and confidence was ok when i got off.. hard but if i get off with a dent in my confidence then i struggle to get on again next time but if i get off feeling better then im always rearing to go the next day.. anyone else up and down like me?:yellowcarded:
