So a little dizzy update! she had her X-rays on Friday and I am happy to say there is no bone damage to her poll, skull or vertebrae :) definite muscle and soft tissue damage going according to the vet.
She is now down to 2 danillon a day and can have physio in 10 days and she will stay on the pain killers for 10days after that. 4 weeks after physio I can start bringing her back into work! I have decided to just completely start again (she is 4) lots of groundwork, walks out inhand and play :) we need to build both our confidence back up especially after her rearing me off on a hack! I want to tackle her napping and loading issues before even thinking about any schooling.
I have nearly had this horse a year and we have never cantered ha!
I have also reached a personal decision that is if my confidence with her doesn't start to come back through groundwork then I will need to rethink everything. She is too young and green to have a rider with confidence issues so the reins will be handed over to someone else who can give her the education she needs.
 
Good news! :)

I hope your confidence comes back soon, but it's always good to know what you will do if you still struggle with it in the future. If she is schooled and you have lessons on a confidence giver, it might make a huge amount of difference for you both.
 
Yes faracat. I need a plan. I know I am overhorsed and that she needs her education so I can do my best but I will likely need someone to step in. It's just always in the back of my mind how unpredictable she can be sometimes. One day she might be absolutely perfect and the next a complete loopy Lou! Before I came off I could tackle it but I know I could not win a battle with her ATM. It's one of the reasons we got the bombproof super pony, I can get on saffy and happily go for a hack on my own or have a jumping lesson or do xc and there is no confidence issue at all. I just hope I can get to that point with dizzy :)
