Pre-Lesson Panic

[HollyWoozle]

Am I the only person in the world who has a bit of an internal panic before a riding lesson? Or usually just before riding in general?

I know it will be fine and there is no reason to worry, I just can't ever help having a panicky feeling!

I get that all the time! It's really nerve-racking even if we're not doing anything particularly exciting. I always enjoy it but beforehand I always wonder if its such a good idea

I once had someone tell me "If you weren't nervous then you don't care enough"....so take it as a good thing!

 

[HollyWoozle]

Phew, thanks! I'm glad it's not just me!!

Think of it as excitement rather than panic

I have a lesson booked for Tuesday morning and I admit to being nervous but excited as well. I haven't ridden since Nov/Dec time so I know I'm gonna hurt

 

[Booboos]

Me too!

Competitions, lessons or even riding (especially after a break) are all terrifying experiences! I usually feel a bit better once a get on and have something to do, but the waiting is horrible!

Think this is an excellent way of looking at it, and enjoy that feeling you get (hopefully ;D ) afterwards when you have learnt something new about yourself and horse in that lesson.

I feel exactly that, but its prob just excitement as MrsMozart says! I always forget about it when its 10 mins into the ride
