Hi,
I’m after a bit of advice regarding riding school horses. I’ve been riding for just over a year and I’m that year I’ve had three falls and an uncountable number of horses bucking, bolting etc. Most recently I’ve been riding a horse who has tried to throw me 3 times in he space of two hours of riding, as well as pulling the same on other riders when I’m not on her. I’m not claiming to be a world class rider neither do I consider myself to be completely incapable of managing a horse but it’s knocking my confidence quite a bit as Im worries I’m going to actually come off very soon. I’ve been reassured it’s just the changing from winter to spring but just how much acting up is attributable to changing seasons? Perhaps I’ve just had my confidence shaken and need to pull up my socks and get on with it
