Do you love horses and horse back riding? Have you, as a little girl, dreamt of owning a horse and riding the trails? Has that dream come true? And if so, is there still that little bit of fear churning away inside you every time you get in the saddle esp if your horse is a bit nervous?
This is one of the reasons I started up this blog. I am one of those people that has finally, after 40 yrs, realized the dream of horse ownership and riding the trails, working cattle and just enjoying horses. Then why am I possessed with this bit of "nervousness" and "fear" everytime I am about to ride one of my horses? Yes, I have fallen off twice and actually sustained a concussion but what is it that is holding me back? I have no problems riding my "Old Faithful" horse who is dead broke and so gentle.
I have tried lessons...many lessons....and listened to advise from EVERYONE and I am still no further ahead. They just don't seem to understand what I am going through....the nervousness, the tension....they just keep telling me "just get on and ride" or "he just needs more hours on him" and even "he is safe to ride"...hahaha....and yet he spooks at the most unexpected thing at the most unexpected time. Safe? My ass!!!
Are there others out there like me?
