... I rode last night! Only in walk, mind you, but it was a start My boy has been kicked again by the looks of things and although he had a cut, which is knitting together nicely, a vet on our yard had a look for me and said "As long as you don't go galloping everywhere - he'll be fine" lol - she obviously doesn't know about my jelly legs ;D So I brought him in - he was already galloping round the field him and another stressing out at something - let him cool off, took him to the school, lunged in walk, kept it very calm on both reins, despite fighter aircraft going over at one point he was almost asleep at this point - took him to the mounting block - no sillyness - popped on and just walked doing circles and transitions for 10mins or so - he was a star, my handsome boy In reality he was probably knackered - lol - but hey! Who cares what the reason was - we did it

Great! You didn't let anything stall your work. That's hard to do when nervous. Proud of you!

When I saw the title and who had posted it I was so pleased ;D This is the start, and you are now on your way. Good luck emined and keep us updated. ;D ;D ;D Very proud of you. You are so brave. When a person lacks confidence, like all of us on here, then it is the bravest thing in the world we do - to get on and ride your horse. It is the equivalent of asking someone with a spider phobia to handle a tarantula (but that would be another thread), but you get my drift. Yikes hope no-ones scared of spiders LOL!!!!! We're all very proud of you. xx

Thanks guys - i crossed another little hurdle today as well... doesn't sound much, but I rode in the outdoor school! we have 'issues' with the outdoor! There is no fencing round the surface itself there are grass verges of about 20m long leading to the actual fence. Last time we were in there (alone) he tanked off with me across the grass to the gate and bucked for england! I think it was extreme napping! when he stopped the reins had come over his head somehow and were both up the left hand side of his neck! Obviously I jumped of double quick and didn't get back on - I was annoyed after coz if I was braver I could have stayed on and ridden him through it... made him go back etc... but hey, never mind we did it today ;D there was another horse in the school so eddie wasn't as keen to leg it, but I don't feel that was cheating as it was all still in my mind that he might have still legged it... I have to say he was (mostly) a good boy too...
