So I had a bad fall a couple years ago and due to injury had some time off
I have come back to riding and have found a lovely part loan on a horse but I have this uncontrollable fear now of having no control and I grip so tight with the reins which winds her up.
I can’t do anything other than walk her round the school and even then I’m having anxiety attacks that she will bolt or run.
I don’t want to give up I just don’t know what to do. Last week I had an amazing ride and felt so confident that I wanted to try trot. Then today I was just doing circles and started getting so stressed to point I had to get off because I couldn’t breath!
I hope I can’t get passed this
