Just want to know, how many of you just get days where before you even get on to school your horse you know you are not going to do a good job?? Today I went to the yard and before I even got on I knew we werent going to be our best, why is that? And then friday and saturday when I got on , I felt dead possitive and he went really nicely? Bizzare, can anyone explain and does this happen to all of us??
 
yes it happens to every one. one trick i have learnt with my mare is if i'm not feeling like i'm going to do a good job i'll give her a lunge for 20 mins in a pessoa or chambon so that she gets into an active working frame of mind. then when i get on its easier as she has had a wee tune up and i'm not battling with my riding and her...it might sound silly but it works for me.
 
When I had angel I used to get off and have cool down time as a 10year old, when she drove me to tears. With most of them im ok, I get on well, but my coloured riles me some days- I get off of him have a cig and a coffee, and I still end feeling deflated.
 
I wouldn't worry about it chick........I have one of those days every day

don't worry about it, i have regular days like that! bobby used to reduce me to tears on many occasion, if it wasnt all going well. I was made to get off the horse on several occasions, as i just wasn't 'with it'!!
 
yeah i have those days too.... sometimes i think if your in a cant be bothered mood, the horses sences that too and gives a cant be bothered response! (haha reading the spelling post earlier... is it senSes or SenCes?
