I think ive lost my nerve for xc

A couple of people from my yard today popped round the xc at the yard and i got asked but i said no :S
I cant believe it!! I had a very little, non-bad fall over a small simple fence when i first got my horse, i jumped straight back up and did it again and it didnt shake me at all .. But now im really worried ive lost it! Please someone help!!!

Rescue remedy. Body protector. Start small. Follow a lead - and smile.

Give it a try, even if you come off, you wont feel it

you probs just nervous after winter break...i always get like this! do as suggested above!

Neckstrap halfway up the neck, an old stirrup leather. It will keep you forward enough that you don't get left behind. Assuming you remember to grab it........

Two swifly necked glasses of fizzy wine will give you more than adequate gung ho. That's reason two for a neckstrap!!!

LOL.. go for it!

same here - if I don' jump for a while I tend to feel nervous for the first few jumps then I remember why I love it so much

What about a shared lesson with someone, so they can give you a lead? I always feel safer in lessons lol

Thankyou for all your help

But my mare isnt so confident now either, and with me it just wont help

 

[diggerbez]

do you have a friend with a confident horse that you could follow round?

 

[eventing09]

Yes however it doesnt seem to work with her that much

shes a very strange horsey haha.
