jumping

[lizzieshimmer]

has anyone ever lost the confidence for absolutely no reason? im fine riding normally but once i start jumping i get so nervous. i can do small cross poles and fine jumping from trot but as soon as i canter i face a mental block. before iv just pushed myself through it but today i couldnt do it. my instructor was amazing and really nice about it. but im so annoyed coz i never used to be like it and used to love it. and i cant think of any reason for it.

Everyone has glitches sometime, don't worry. Book yourself a couple of lessons with a quality instructor, they will rebuild your confidence in both yourself & your horse & you'll soon get back on track.
