Confidence coaches and techniques can improve your mind-set and anable you to see a situation more positively. But if you are nervouse because your horse has training issues or is wrong for you, you'll just end up frightened angain the next time you ride. Carefully consider your situation and the reason for your nerves, then think how you can practically address them:
- If your horse bucks, bolts or naps, have his back, teeth and tack checked to ensure pain is not causing the behaviour.
- Be realistic and ask yourself whether he is too much or unsuitable for you - unfortunately not every horse-and-rider-partnership ist going to work and a different mount could be the only answer.
- Would things change if the horse has more work and his feed was changed? Some equines are calmer when they are ridden more often, while incorrect feeding can result in over-exuberance.
- If you are more effective in the saddle, you'll be able to control your horse better, so invest in some lessons with an good instructor. It is also reassuring to have someone in the arena with you.
- Some horses could benefint from professional schooling, especially if you don't have the right experience.
- If you are scared to hack out alone, ask a fellow livery to go out with you. If you only want to walk, tell them so they don't launch into a gallopp. Getting a friend to to walk alongside you can also help.
