Just take it slow try to do a little each day and set yourself small targets that you are fairly sure you can manage. It takes time to rebuild confidence but the worst thing you can do is rush and try to do to much to quickly and make it worse.

I second what horsegirl said. Take your time and only do things you feel ready for. Good luck!

Confidence is such a fragile thing, it can go in a split second but takes ages to rebuild. I completely lost mine a few months ago. One way to rebuild it is to go back to basics and take your time. Do push yourself a little as this is the best way to grow confidence. It is however a fine balance though between pushing yourself without overdoing it. Also, not sure if this applicable to you, but often there are people with 'helpful' advice about what your horse 'should' be doing. If this does apply, then be strong and have faith that you know your horse best and only listen to those who genuinely care for you and your horses best interests.

I agree with what they said.

Make sure you let us know how you are getting along - I'm sure you will be fine, just take it at your own pace
