I had a serious riding injury in Feb 08- Have not ridden since but have a 13.2 Bombproof ex school pony arriving in the New Year to get me back into it. Im really quite scared and just wondered those with injuries how did you deal with getting back in the saddle for the first time, how long did it take for confidence to resume?
Did you have set backs etc. Im not allowed to compete again due to the risks if I fall again hence why I have gone for a stocky wide, comfy and small level headed breed who is older and apprently a good confidence giver, but I still want to know how quickly I will recover from my nerves. I will be on the lead rope for some time I fear- but oddly cant wait to get in the saddle again at the same time!
