Basically here is my story: I used to jump anything when I was a kid(I used to frequently win chase me charlies at my RS cos I was scared of nothing!!) Then when I was 19 I did my BHS exams at college & had a really nasty fall from a 16hh jumping about 3ft(I was off work for weeks, my back was severly put out!) I never jumped again for about 3 years.
Blackie(my current horse) is an awesome jumper but I just cant seem "to go with him"!! Ive been jumping on him for about 2 years now & I have got a little bit better but I still get very nervous to the point I start to shake or worse crying my eyes out!
Anything over 2ft & I start to shake & he just stops dead. Ive had lessons, Ive even done competitions but just cant seem to shake these nerves.
Ive plucked up the courage to do another show on Sunday(My 1st one since I did terribly at a show in August) & I am absolutely wetting myself!! Im not looking to come away with anything just to get round clear & safe & get my confidence up a bit.
Please can anyone give some advice???
