oh some days I feel sick about getting on! I'm usually better once I'm on, but a few odd things worry me - riding outside, cantering in a field, and jumping so that would have been vomit inducing for me!

I know what you mean about some days! On these days I don't think I come out the menage of a trot but on a 'brave' day I'm happy doing what I did today! What do you do to get over it?
 
Have you really only had him 3 months????? you look like you have been together for ever.
What a lovely horse, he looked like he thoroughly enjoyed himself and looks like you did too.
It looks like you could go and do that again with your eyes shut!
You are both going to have some serious fun together!

Yep three months, we get on together very well thankyou very much.
I did it with my eye shut anyway I was so nervous :o
 
Well done you. :D You both look fab in the video. I wish I was that brave but feel sick at the thought of going XC and Herbs is nowhere near ready for that yet anyway.
Now you've done it once hopefully next time you won't feel so bad. Once you are fully confident I bet there'll be no stopping you two. You make such a good team and I hope you have many happy years together. :D

Thankoyu very much and I know how you feel, were going to try and make it a regular thing so I keep it up were hopefully going to boomerang soon aswell :)
He trust the rider so much when I first got him he didn't want to jump cause he didn't trust me and now we have great time. Herbie will be ready soon, you have done wonders with him! Very well done :D

er, feel sick, have a cigarette and get on! Usually when I'm on I'm not too bad. I did an intensive riding course at Talland which helped my position, and lunge lessons gave me more security, I went mad and booked 2 jumping lessons as well. Add a fab instructor and some lovely safe horses and I feel much better

Ahh ok, I have montholy lunge lessons which really help my position and confidence but I'm thinking of an intensive next year did it really help you? :) Sorry for all the questions!
