Frustrated with myself ( moaning, apologies)

[dilbert]

I'm really frustrated with myself at the moment . I've got myself a little box t get out and about in and have a new cob ( as well as my favourite boy although his fitness is hit and miss) but I dont have the confidence to go anywhere on my own. I'm not really sure what the exact problem is ( will have a think though) but its very annoying. I really want to have a go at some pleasure rides, bit of showing etc . There are a few lovely people who are happy to meet up with me, travel with me etc but I don't like feeling that I have to rely on them and don't think it's particularly fair on them.

Moan over, I know I need to just have a go on my own.

Personally I would accept the help from your friends to start with to get you going. I really doubt they would mind if they have offered. Maybe then just set yourself little targets. Take you and cob off in lorry for a lovely little hack somewhere and build up like that.

Go on, just do it. Go somewhere mid week, where you know it will be quiet. Somewhere you know the route there well and that the parking is easy (take a trip in your car first if you want to be doubly sure). Its brilliant to go off out on your own with your horse, I think it makes you feel like real compadres.
