I am going to meet friends from my old yard tomorrow, but have to cross busy road and then down the main street of the village where we (me and my boy) nearly fell off when dodging high flying recycling bag last time we went that way. I am felling nervous about it, but really want to meet my friends. Wish I could stop being such an old worry bag, I seem to get worse as I get older.
Is this common amongst you guys?

oh yes!!!! its took me nearly a year for me to hack my pony out on my own cos when I first ever rode her she reared me off and napped very badly. Its silly really as she's one in a million( to me anyway), great in traffic and brilliant in the yard. Know its my age

I got worse after I had my children. As a teenager/early twenties I rode anything anywhere, Since Aeron was born I hack lost a lot of my confidence, saying that he and his sisters are now in their teens and I am getting my confidence back again, not to the same extent as it was before children but I am happy to ride other horses and ponies again when previously I wouldn't ride anything other than my mare and even then I was wary.
 
It's a b****r ! thought as got older I would get more confident and serene `bout everything thing but the opposite seems to happen! I waste so much time thinking about what might happen. It is not fair I was aiming to be very sanguine and cool with growing older but it is a false hope!

Definitely! I thought I'd get better as the kids got older and more independent but I'm now hacking out my daughters connemara X on a regular basis and am still plagued by the "what if's" as in "what if we meet a herd of wildebeest etc....". I know I'm a wimp, but I also know that I don't bounce quite like I used to!
 
Oh no attheponies! I thought I had every "what if" carefully logged in my head but I'd never considered the very real danger of meeting a herd of wildebeest...I'll have to add it to my list! And just when I was getting quite smug that as a bona fide wrinkly, I now have a good excuse for being the wimp that {shhhh} I've always been lol x
