Rescue Remedy - it worked for me!!!

[Derfette]

"Many years ago I had a couple of bad falls from my horse while jumping and ever since I have stuck to schooling and hacking, I don't think I've even done 1 jump since! I have tried but the legs just turn to jelly and I don't feel it's fair on the horse to carry on if I'm feeling so nervous! But I am desperate to try again, as I know we can do it! Has anyone ever used Rescue Remedy for nerves and does it work? Or does anyone have any suggestions of something else I could try?"

further my above thread a couple of days ago ........


I did it!!!!! Yehhhhhhhh

After taking Rescue Rememdy for a couple of days, I really surprised myself last night, but we did some jumping! Only a couple of small cross poles and most people would no doubt have laughed at me cos they were tiny, but I am well chuffed!! Only had 1 jump where I thought "hold on, don't fall off", Fred just jumped big and unseated me a little. Feel like I want to do more jumping now!

yay well done! If you're interested the hypnotherapy cd's you can buy are really good too. I used one after a fall - I couldnt even walk over a pole on the floor without breaking down in tears (pathetic I know lol) but I used the cd and decided stuff it, took my horse to a SJ comp (throw myself in at the deep end). We went in the practice ring and I jumped the cross pole that was up without a second thought, then did the course and even though I nearly fell off I carried on and finished it I have the XC cd at the minute which is good aswell.

You can get them on ebay still I think and some of the online tack shops used to do them.

Hope your confidence comes flooding back

Well done, thats great and its the first step that needs to be taken to get you back on track. I tried RR a couple of years ago but I`m not sure if it helped or not TBH. But it may be a placebo effect, or the alcohol lol... We`ll never know.
