Not sure if this belongs in the Confidence Club but as I consider myself a full member at the moment I will post here.........
Have started to have lessons again after my little spree of accidents.
The aim is to improve my seat and thus improve my confidence.........
Had my first lesson today on a massive (17hh) beautiful coby boy (I am used to my 13.3 haffie)
Walk was fine, went into trot and I bounced all over the place :unsure: his trot was so different from Daisy's who I have been riding on average 4 or 5 times a week for the past 4 years.
For a while I felt so absolutely useless and was rather embarassed, my seat was all wrong, legs wrong, hands wrong but by the time the lesson was over I was doing ok and really enjoyed it but I am amazed at how bad my riding has become by hacking out and not keeping lessons up.
I am so pleased that I have started the lessons up again (thank you SJP - your suggestion) really looking forward to next weeks one and RI has given me lots of homework to practise on Daisy.
Another positive little step to getting back to where I want to be :smile:
