Confidence crisis!

[Wimbles]

I'm hoping it's just nerves making me have a wobble and be daft.

Basically I have two great ex racehorses who are both really talented but quite quirky. I had big plans to do some British Eventing this year and all was going well until I had a horror fall out hunting.

Now I'm entered at Bakewell show next week (will be our biggest ever show) and then Adult Riding Camp at Eland lodge the same weekend and it's making me want to cry. I'm just so nervous that I'll make a fool of myself and my lovely neddies.

Any tips on helping with my confidence crisis?

The riding camp will probably turn out to be just what you need. There'll be all sorts of standards there and they won't push you past what you are capable of.

I lost my nerve over winter after a couple of nasty falls and it just took time and patience. Now I've got it back we're jumping bigger and better than ever because it made me think about everything and what I really want.

Take a deep breath and go for it.
