I have a young welsh d, he is lovely but green. When I first got him I had a professional rider schooling him once a week, they now seem to be working with another rider who I do not like or respect as she is hard and rough so I do not want him to go there anymore. There is a lady at our yard who is younger than me and although not an educated rider is quite ballsy and sends them forward without interfering with them. My instructor likes the way she rides as she is quiet but positive. I am now 60 have suffered a major loss of confidence on this horse and I am thinking of asking her to help by riding him, my instructor thinks this is a good idea and will help me and the horse. I am seeing this as a failure on my part as I feel I should be confident enough to do this, I am not a bad rider but am suffering with confidence in my own ability to do this. Has anyone gone down this route and if so has it helped you and the horse? How did it make you feel ? Thanks for any input
