This evening will mark my first ride on my youngster since he bronced me off (twice... in a row) last year
Gave him the winter off and then in April I sent him away to be back as I had lost my confidence backing him myself.
Apart from a few wobbly moments (and then the backer breaking her shoulder so he was off work for a couple weeks at her place) he's been a little dreamboat there and getting his head around working much better than I expected him to.
So now it's time for me to get on him at her place first, with a view to bringing him back in a weeks time
I just worry that I'm still going to be a nervous nellie on board and that I'm not going to be a good/brave enough rider for him.... am I being silly?
I can ride my speedy little Welsh D with her excitable canter issues with no problems and total confidence.... I think I'm being stupid, but had anyone had similar thoughts/feelings before? Do I just need a kick up the backside and a firm 'get on with it' type treatment
