After 4 years out of the saddle, I finally got back on a horse yesterday (riding school). Had a fab time, and the horse really looked after me and my shattered confidence
I did get a bit nervous
, but just took things slowly and felt loads better at the end than I did at the beginning, so I'm sure my confidence will come flooding back.
Now, you would think that after 4 years not riding, my bad habits would have cured themselves. But no, sadly not
So, any tips for the following:
1 - dropping hands and not carrying them properly
2 - tipping forwards and dropping hands when going into canter (I do sit up again once the canter is established)
Both are bad habits which I've had for years, and haven't managed to cure them yet!
All suggestions welcomed
