you may have read from my prev posts i had a IH lady come out on fri re SEVERE napping when ridden alone. well the lady came, and true to form my mare barely napped. even tho said lady kept miles behind my mare knew an would not display the type of napping she normally does. i was gutted in a funny kind of way as my mare made me look like a lying pleb .i eventually prevocted her into napping (tho not on same scale she normally does). she showed me some pratical tips but still my mare not really showing her true colours. well rode today, convinced her napping would be worse.... well shock horror she barely napped!! this is fantastic, today i had the most normal ride i've had in 3 yrs. so do you think i've gained more sub- concious (sp) balls or my mare realised the game is up??

Maybe., you rode more posivetivly after seeing this. I am sure you are a good rider, but as I found out 2 weeks ago, it somtimes takes some one else to make you ride possitivly, and not back down.

I lost my nereve, not saying that is you, but I rode a horse who I now thought was above me, with no ill consequence. Infact the only problem was me near the end.

So yet again my problem
