Okay, who out there has never felt any anxiety while riding?

Thought so : )

I am slowly but surely becoming more comfortable with riding our boys in 
challenging situations. My "other half" has been very instrumental (he's a 
natural teacher, what can I say?). Last week we went for a trail ride, and 
Tommes got a bit antsy, started hopping around. I jumped out of that saddle 
in no time! I felt silly, leading my horse, but I wanted him to settle down 
and walk which he did after a while. "Honey" never pressured me to get back 
up, but I saw the broad smile on his face when I eventually did. I just had 
to get my legs under me in my own time. 

Since then, I have felt much more confident. Every ride gets better. Our 
horses quickly get used to all the attention, as people often pull over to 
the side of the road to admire the Fjords!
