Hey everyone I've been reading this site for a few days and have finally joined up so I can ask a question! I started riding as a child (I'm 20 now) and have had various lessons, and done some volunteering at a few yards. Problem is I've completely lost my confidence - no fall or anything, I think just through being overfaced at my yard positions etc. I can canter (confidence aside), I've jumped some small jumps, I've done a few lateral movements... I would love to get back into riding, but I don't want to go back to lessons because I personally feel the pressure confidence-wise! My ideal situation would be if a friend of mine had a horse, and we could just hang out so I could become more comfortable, as opposed to structured lessons. Afraid that's not possible though! I've been trawling websites for riders needed/shares offered, but I'm not sure if I'm actually good enough for something like that Especially as my nerves would be through the roof at the moment. Any insight into this?
