Expecting a refusal - how to get over it?

[Charmin]

Hi Charmin, Have you been able to work through your issue ?

Hi Sherree!

Yes I have to an extent. We had no further refusals last year (so had three or four collectively I think) and went on to get double clears at BE.

Unfortunately I've been off games since September as had a knee op. I'm at uni and pony's at dressage boot camp so hasn't jumped in a while. I'm planning on taking things slowly and getting my eye back in over a few weeks/months before thinking of eventing again.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful! Silly injury.

Hi Charmin,
Don't be hard on yourself ! For what its worth - my advice would be :
Take it steady and gain evidence of your successes, and work on your skill set re jumping.
It might also be useful to have some hypnosis to destabilise the original nasty memory triggers and re-imprint the feelings of competence and self efficency - that you used to have when you jumped in the past.
All the best with the Uni course x

have a word with your instructor ,say you want to continue with groundwork lessons, but can she/he recommend someone to improve your jumping .Don't let them mix teaching ,keep the 2 separate gw only gw ,j only j.
