Getting my horse out of the trailer!!

He travels brilliantly - almost too well in fact

He's so keen to be off adventuring that you have to make sure no one is in the way if he's going in a lorry - he has been known to drag unsuspecting grooms into lorries in which he does not belong!!

Anyway, he tends to exit trailers and wagons like a cannonball, as he so keen to see what excitement awaits, so far he's cracked a bone in my foot and possibly my skull (had a large very sore lump for a while - doctor wasn't sympathetic when I finally visited after two weeks)

Maybe I should take him for dressage lessons - that'd stop him!

just recently i had a freak accident where a loose horse came out of no where into my paddock and knocked my horse over and my poor baby landed right on top of me! alot of people said i'd be scared to ride again or to go near the horse that knocked me over (he was my friends) but i got straight back on once i checked my one was fine and i rode the horse that knocked me over..stupid thing is im more scared of the fillers that my horse spooked at just before we fell! im petrified going over them because he always gives them a funny look!

That's pretty much my fear...well I do do canter circles but my heart races when I do them. This is mainly because my mare will sometimes take hold of the bit and dash out the opposite way just as you're heading back to the track and she doesn't care if her rider hits the wall as she changes direction

So at the minute I'm worrying when I'm doing them. Funny she is fine if you are going large then ask for canter then do the circle but if you're on the circle trotting, then ask for canter and try to keep the circle she sometimes plays up. But it is one more thing to add to the list with her...she'll try anything to keep you on your toes.

Riding down steep hills on the road (my pony slipped badly with me once) and cantering in a certain field as this is where I fell off and broke myself

I'm often nervous of.... stirrups xD

I've been dragged a few times when my foot's got caught in the stirrup from falling at weird angles and in general, I'd much rather do without them tbh! :/ I'm a little odd, I know!
