...... I'm having a bit of a confidence crisis and keep making excuses not to ride!! Help!! I've had my lovely new horse for nearly three months now. She's a bossy mare with a bit attitude, but she's not really put a hoof wrong in terms of her behaviour etc. Of course it was all a bit hit and miss over Christmas and new year, and we've had some awful weather lately - wind and rain - I'm sure we've all been put off by that, and the ground round us is very boggy at the moment, which isn't helping.
But today it's quite nice, a bit chilly but the sun's shining, no wind to speak of, not raining; but, I've done household chores all day, caught up with the ironing, taken the dog for two walks, written my friend a long email, pottered about outside picking up leaves and doing other non-essential jobs, made a nice lunch for hubby ....... anything really except pull on my jods, grab my saddle and go and get on my horse. GAH!!! Could someone come please along and give me a sharp, verbal kick up the rear and get me back on track, or offer a few strategies for sorting out my dithering head. What on earth is the matter with me ...... and is anyone else suffering from total de-motivation?
(..... goes off to beat myself up and reluctantly change into jods ....... )
