Hi all can be very nervous at times, not ashamed to admit it. Would there be any point in setting up a fb confidence targeted group? Hho have turned down a sticky about confidence so was thinking along the lines of a fb group for non confident riders across all disciplines to be able to vent and ask advice on... Possibly if page takes off get experts to contribute?

Would be also a place for nervous riders to share milestones etc.

Pm's welcome with suggestions :)

There are already 3 I have seen- but no one posts on them except people that earn their living doing confidence coaching who are advertising - I joined 2 but left as they were so quiet .
 
That is one I have not seen yet, do you get many people posting. Really I would find it most helpful to have a buddy that lives locally where we could help eachother ie having someon to walk out wih you and you do the same for them , or whatever. You see, there are several, but not much used as maybe people are too split between them.
 
Yes, but if we support one group, or start a hho one, there is a chance of putting members in touch locally, then people can help eachother and not be too "needy" for other liveries on their own yards.Have applied to join equi s group.

Buddy system, both physical/and or verbal is a great idea. I'm on a nice yard of very capable people who are too busy to ask for help, and if I do, I feel very self-conscious! I find all posts about lack of confidence helpful and inspirational - it's great to share.
 
I've just joined the Brave pants group. I've got a beautiful pony who really is a star most of the time but I've had a couple of falls off her this year and my confidence has hit rock bottom. She's a pony who gets her confidence from her rider and if she's not feeling it will just plant. And refuse to move. And hacking out on our own has become a huge issue at the moment so anyone local in mid Suffolk who could walk or cycle with us and I could do the same for them - would be great.
