My friend has been helping me return to jumping after having a horredous accident a number of years ago and damgaed my spine. My confidence was shattered.

Have been doing well the last couple of weeks with her help but last night fell off at the second part of a double. Total rider error on my part.

Was caught on video and must say was very impressive for youve been framed fans. Anyway dusted myself off, got my breath back then remounted and did it again. This time I did sit up in between fences. Not sure how I feel today. Disappointed I think but then pleased I got back on and did the combination again.

So sat here with ribs killing me, as is my shoulder and wrist. But hopefully with confidence still intact. Next time we jump will tell :)
 
You got straight back on which is the main thing. Hope you feel better soon. Falling off is not my favourite past time either !!!!
 
dont worry everyone falls off i fell off at pony club on tues day infront of everyone! i now have a sore back/side
make sure you just keep getting back on :)
 
Hope your feeling better today.

My friend (my bridesmaid as it happens) tuck a slow and slightly dignified tumble the other evening in the school, but I got the blame though! lol

I suggested she needed to be more experimental with her jumps to test both hr and the horse, so I set a corner and an arrow head up, horse took a huge leap, horse land, she kept going.

Was rather funny (knew she was ok) wish I'd got it on my phone though.

She swore at me…. then I made her do it again :D
 
don't be sad you fell off! be proud that you got back on and pleased that your confidence is intact. That's the most important thing. Hope you feel better soon :)
 
ah but every fall makes you a better rider :D Please be careful of your back - hubs has banned me from jumping cos of mine, tho I might sneak a bit in when he's not around..
 
Well done you for getting back on! it takes alot of courage to get on especially when u have been physically hurt before. Try and put it behind you and concentrate on how well u have done. Done be too hard on yourself, something i need to try and do also! x
 
Ah thanks all for your words of encouragement. It is a huge thing for me after what I went through in the past. Wish I was the gutsy rider I used to be before my accident.

Anway am proud, got back on, onwards and upwards :)
 
well done for getting back on! ive had a few falls lately it's not nice but i guess its one of them risks that comes with the sport. Just focus on what you've acheived-I think falling of a few times has made me more aware-just dont let it get you down.keep us posted for your next jumping session :D
