forgive me in advance if this is long and boring!
basically I have run out of ideas moving forwards.
my horse is 100pc safe or as safe as they get barring the odd spook however a few years ago I did have an accident on him. Not his fault but I have built it entirely out of proportion.
Anyway chatting to a medical specialist I was seeing about something, and he said there is nothing wrong with you regarding the condition he was seeing me for but you do have post traumatic stress disorder.
(I have not got my confidence back since the fall even though it was 2 years ago and have never once looked forward to riding. )
I then called my instructor as she has been trying very hard to get me over my fears and she said - you are perfectly capable of riding its your fear of open spaces and trust that are getting in your way.
Therefore we discussed that its not horses - its me! but I do not know what to do now!!
Has anyone else ever felt like this and what did you do?
