I've been riding for about 2 years now. After about 1 and a half years, i had a fall, and lost a lot of confidence. Does anyone have any tips to help me get back to my normal confidence?
You are gonna be fine! Just dont think about what happened in the past. Think about now......

Me too! by: Katrina
I fell of over a jump and I sprained a muscle in my back. I also lost a lot of confidence. Luckily I have a very nice instructor. I just told her I am a afraid to ride. I just walked and trotted a bit. I am now jumping 75cm again. Just before I fell of the horse,Jeromey, ran away with me and i fell of.I am actually so glad I rides again!
God be with you! K

Help is here! by: fresian luvr
well if you have a bad fall it is best to say to yourself "it wont happen again" sometimes you can even tell your trainer to start you off at a walk and trot. when you get more confidence you can work yourself up and leave the past behind you. (i hope this works for you) GOOD LUCK!

My Fall by: Anonymous
I fell of my horse Target i lost heaps of confidence and i didnt trust him. But my instructor told me that everyone falls off its not the horses fault it happens all the time even with the experts. You cant stop a fall, that's why riding is a dangerous sport.
