Since having my accident on my own horse I have been the most nervous person ever!!!!!!!!

Over the last year I have had a go riding here and there but have never really enjoyed it :(

Today I was asked to ride with an instructor at the riding stables I go to as she needed some moral support with a difficult customer and did not want to be on her own, I gave it some thought, and said yes as she does me favours when she can.

I got to ride my favourite horse, all be it has been my fav only from the ground as she is sooo big, when I got on the ground litterally span, she is nearly 17hh :o.

I loved it, I felt completly balanced ( probably did not look like it :) ), and even when she was having a silly moment becasue of flies, even that was fine. I even had some canters, and when she took off without me asking I even brought her back to a halt and started again.

THis is such a big moment for me, as normaly any of these things would have had me shaking, but it was all good :D.

Hopefully this is the beginning of my riding again

THanks for listenening
 
well done :) it's so hard building up confidence after an accident but sounds like you are on the right track. so glad for you!
 
Thanks everyone for your replies, I hope this is the start of my love for riding again :), never lost my love for horses though, still have got the brute that broke me LOL

BTW, sorry to go on, forgot to mention all this happened on a hack, not in the school, which makes it even more special to me.
