I feel like such a FOOL

[PinkFairy]

After that nasty fall I had back on a friday, I went riding on Monday. Was given a horse larger than the one I fell off, had not ridden this horse before and was told she was very good. Was in the same school as the one the accident was in, but with a different teacher. Through the lesson, EVERY time i went near the walls (any wall) I got nervous and my horse got so close to the wall my feet banged on them and I freaked out! My friend was riding a smaller horse and she also got her feet banging on the wall and I started to worry that an accident would happen. During one of the excersises we were doing, I felt my horse hunch herself up (if you know what i mean, just before they are about to bolt off, they kind of hunch - we were trotting at the time) and I just instantly lined her up in the middle of the ring and stopped. I just feel so foolish about feeling so nervous but that fall was the worst i've had and I know it won't be the last time, but I just hate feeling so nervous! My horse was fabulous i loved riding her and would ride her again, but its just whenever i go near the walls i freak out!

i'm such a fool
