Riding confidence

[Piccy]

Anyone else suffer with confidence issues, mine are like a rollacoaster ride one day i feel i could ride anything the next i cant get on. Im having hyponotherpy for this with my second session this weekend first session has helped a lot.
Has anyone had hyponotherpy?

No hypno but feel as you do - up and down confidence. Does yours come from having an accident/ something frightening happen to you?
Glad hypno's helping. Where do you go for it?

I'm very much a novice and I am fortunate to have the safest horse in the world at my disposal but I can relate to how you feel, some days I feel like we can take on the world but on another day I feel really unsure of myself. I can imagine if you've had a nasty accident the best thing you can do is give yourself time and try not to pressure yourself with the "I should be doing..."

My accident was about four approx years ago, I just want to un lock the small block thats left... i know ill get there as when i relax i have a great time

Tonight we went to dressage just walk and trot we would have been placed but i decided not to change my bit so went hc, thrilled i did it i was stressed before the test but stayed with it and went in.
Couldnt have done it without the fantasic support from people at the yard and the center we were at and my hypnotherpy technique that i used twice this evening. Thrilled with how it went and feel so positive now

 

[HappyHooves]

That's such good news. Well done you!! and your horse too of course.
