Have had bad accident and in process of getting over fear issues. Have come a long way but am looking for a horse that is real level headed and not real sensitive to a rider that may tense up now and then. I would still like to get back to endurance so it would be nice to have a horse who could do a couple rides a year. Anyone have a real trustworthy horse they need to find a home for? Thanks "chilled" Just want to say that I had a very bad riding accident about two
months ago. Removed all of the skin from my lower
back. Had I known what a flak jacket was BEFORE I test
rode this so-called "trained" horse at a "famous"
facility in Colorado . . . I would have gotten up and walked
away. The first few times I rode, about a month later,
after that it was not too relaxing, shall we say. ;-)
I think that all horses will shy on occasion, and what helped me
was to remind myself to sink into the horse when he dropped with a
spook, and worked on my riding skills (the ol' "keep weight in
your heels") that I had heard for years and years.
That brought my confidence back up.
I am not saying don't get a "safer" horse. I
looked for almost 8 months before I found an Arab that had a calm mind
and experience to not over-react to everything, LOL.
I know exactly how you feel. Good luck
with that.
