Opinions are like bum holes, everyone has one.
This is a subject I was recently introduced to and I am kind of intrigued but it. But why do people ride if they are clearly s*** scared?
Classic scenario - having a meltdown at jumping a 70cm fence. If you are having a meltdown at the thought of jumping something - why bother doing it? why not do something else?
Why put yourself and the horse through this?
I am terrified of pigeons. Will you see me going out and buying racing pigeons. No way! You will also not catch me swimming with sharks or locking myself in a room full of rats just to overcome a fear? NO! In no other sport will you catch people doing something they are terrified about.
BTW I get nerves. Its normal to get nerves and I have learnt how to overcome them but I watch so many people who are petrified. Horses should be fun?
