I have been quite ill for a while now and been unable to ride due to having poor balance, over the last week or so I felt 80% normal so decided to ride for the first time in 8 weeks today. It was lovely being back in the saddle even though it was just a 1/2 hour potter around, a good friend walked out with me incase my balance got worse because of the motion of the horse.
If I am honest I have been feeling down as I know I have a tough year ahead, but 5 mins after getting on my horse all my problems went away and I felt normal. Today is a good day, and now I know I can maintain my balance in the saddle (if anything the motion made it feel better), I shall be back hacking out regually again. :D:D:D
 
That's so lovely to read ! Very similar to me, i struggle with MH problems, and getting on my pony and just plodding around is guaranteed to make me smile. Even just for ten minutes if I'm not well.

Hope you continue to recover shysmum xx
 
Thankyou my mare behaved perfectly, even though she has not been out of the field for 8 weeks. She has noticed I think that I have not been on top form and has been so loving with me, and she is not really a cuddle type of horse. Best therypy (sp) I could of had, been smiling ever since and I swear I actually feel better than I have for a long time. :)
 
What a lovely post! :)

I know the feeling though - last year I spent months out of the saddle with a back injury and getting back on board was bliss!
