I'm finding it very difficult to relax when hacking, I get worried and I tense up, which makes my girl worry and start napping and spooking which makes me worse, its a vicious circle! The rare occasion I've managed to calm down my girls been a star so its definitely me getting her worked up.
I've tried eradicating everything I've been worried about I.E. mare slipping over - knee boots, my foot getting caught in the stirrup - peacock irons etc.
Its been suggested that I try Bach flower remedie to try to chill out a bit, got some of the drops and the chewing gum containing drops today so am going to try it when I ride in the school tonight then venture onto the road this week during our lessons.
Has anyone else tried this and has it helped?
