Tips on regaining confidence? I fell off my new horse twice in the past 6 weeks and am feeling really discouraged. I was a little spooked after the first fall (she saw a canter pole through a jump and misjudged the distance, stopped then jumped up really high and I basically catapulted off. total baby moment) but I felt like I was getting confident again when she spooked after a jump this past week. She bolted and really caught me off guard and I came off again. So in addition to being seemingly perpetually covered in bruises, I feel like I totally suck at riding, am super embarrassed (Ive been riding since age 10 with a few years off for college/grad school), and am starting to freak out every time I get on her. Shes green but with lots of potential so now Im also worrying about ruining my horse. I have a great trainer and take weekly lessons. Im supposed to be going to a show at the end of the month so I really need to get it together soon. Any advice?
