does anyone else have days when they just can't ride?

I had one this morning.
It was v cold and a bit windy so ned was very skittish but I sort of felt like I was all over the place and I couldn't seem to keep my left leg still in sitting trot

(don't normally have this problem).

Think the world was conspiring to get me - part of the fence was flapping about in the next field, the school needed harrowing, a cat decided to use one corner as a toilet (scary things, cats - especially when crouching). Oh and then some chap showed up and started cutting down the hedge and waving binliners about!

I hate days like this - make me feel like I've regressed to the 'saw -and kick' method of riding. lovely.
 
I have many days like this! Yesterday with all that wind and it being late and dark would have definately been one of them, so I cut my losses and lunged instead!!
 
i have a few days like this a month when i'm really unbalanced and have a bad position and just generally ride like i total idiot - and the annoying thing is i know im doing it ?! very odd. normally im not too bad, or not that bad anyway!! then about once in a blue moon i have a day where i actually ride really well and it shows in horses performance and then i think now why cant i ride like that all the time?!!? grr!
 
yep every day for me too! if i could replace my left hand, right shoulder, right leg and spine then I would be fantastic lol!
