Hi
I have recently bought a new horse who is absolutely lovely. He is very placid and copes with things well.
My only problem is me! I have an unreasonable fear of hacking on roads. I have to say the car/ van drivers around my area are very good and always slow down and we have very quiet country roads.
My horse has not seen much traffic and looks to see what is behind him (fair enough), but he put his bum into a Landrover today, luckily the landrover avoided him, but it does scare me.
I have the option to travel to the woods nearby where there is miles of off road hacking and have access to riding on the beach.
My question is, should I perseve with my unreasonable fear and get used to riding on quiet roads, or should I just stick to the woods and beach?
Thanks
