I finally got back on Winifred! Since my fall in October I've been having a major nervous wobble about riding her, so have done lots of long reining and lunging. But yesterday I finally got back on her and she was brilliant. 🙂😊🙂
 
Well done for getting on! It can be really hard after a fall.
It's a good idea lunging and long reining as that will have helped your confidence
 
Well done! I need to follow your example after getting bucked off and fracturing my cocxyx. Really nervous at the thought of getting back on :(
 
I used to think that people just need to man up when they've come off and are anxious about getting on.

I had a miserable incident happen to me out riding & it was absolutely nothing anybody could have done anything about and it was nothing to do with the horse (stroke, so defo not his fault!) but I made every excuse under the sun to not get back on and was a shaking wreck the first I tacked up again.

It takes everybody a different amount of time to do it and I'd feel very sorry for anybody who never actually made it so a big well done!
 
Thankyou, I rode her again yesterday and she was an angel. She's grown a little in her time off and the ground work has strengthened her up too. So happy to be feeling ok again. I toyed with the idea of selling her, but couldn't do it.
