Sorry if this is in the wrong forum!
I've just committed myself to a share even though I'm very nervous, and I want to get my confidence back as soon as possible. Aside from the obvious things like lots of riding and a good instructor, should I be looking at mimulus or aspen? Or maybe a combination of the two?
The whole horse thing is slightly terrifying for me, having been away from ownership for over 30 years and not riding for over 10 years. The fears range from tension when actually riding, getting seriously injured (though falling off is not an issue, oddly) and all the usual stuff, to feeling stupid because I should be like everyone else and just get on a do it, to feeling shy of meeting new people at the yard etc etc.
Thanks!
