When I fell off of my pony, I moved onto an older and larger 'bombproof' horse. He never put a foot wrong, but I was terrified to even lead him through the paddock! Some my friends would tell me to sing, and this calmed me down. I also completely stopped worrying and focused on something that...

'Heel down, eyes up' and 'If you look at the ground, thats where your going to end up!' are 2 of the most important things while riding a horse :)

My boy is 27, and he gets the royal treatment when going to shows, but when we're just plodding at home, I don't usually bother about brushing! Just as long as his tail is clean of prickles and his feet have been cleaned out, I am happy to ride :)
