Following up on last week's video about being afraid to ride, here is my personal story about how my fears manifested and how I was able to work through them. See what I did, and what I still have to do, to mitigate the fears that pop up when I wish they wouldn't! This isn't in any way professional advice; it's all my opinion and my own path. Everyone is different.
Special thanks to all the trainers who've put up with my overactive brain and list of reasons why I "can't!" Credit in these videos goes to James McDonald and Austin, Mimi Penfield and Hickory, Robyn Null and Logan the Superstar.
It can be really helpful to have a coach. If you don't have one, check out www.mindfulequestrian.com. Lisa Eklund is a certified coach and trainer; she has helped hundreds of people work through their fears with her mindfulness-based training methods. Best of all, she can do it all online with you!

As I said in another comment…I have PTSD and a multitude of other issues. All related to horses. When I bought a horse after my “accident” I thought it would be okay. It wasn’t I rode him in walk and trot but I could t get myself into canter. I eventually gave him away to someone who loves him very much. When I was a kid- I was totally fearless. Got a lesson once in a while. Had children. Went to school. Found a lovely OTTB (always love TBs) and found my mojo again. She died in an accident and I bought a yearling I trained. She was a warmblood and totally different but I was fine. Then the accident. Nothing was fine after and I had to work what I had to do just to walk through a barn. This was years after the accident. Once I felt comfortable on the ground I finally felt I could buy another horse. He was the one I gave away. You are far further along in your journey. So smart to start on quite trustworthy horses. Bless them all! I love your last canter poles! Such a great exercise! I still haven’t gotten back to horses but I am almost there! I love you opening up about this. Lots of us older riders have reasons to feel the way we feel. I think that lessons for me would be good. I think you have a great plan!!

Thanks so much for sharing your story! Horses never leave our hearts, so even if we’ve stepped away from working with or riding them for a time, just being in their presence or watching them can be healing. It takes as long as it takes, and however you come back to them (it doesn’t have to be riding) I hope you keep me posted. 😊

@@Theagingequestrian5335 Funny to see your response. Before I even saw it I got in touch with a therapeutic riding center and my first weekend of volunteering will be next weekend. Not sure if that would be happening if not for this post. Thank you.

I completely understand where you’re coming from. 2 years ago I was in a bad accident and broke my back in two places. 16 weeks in a TSLO brace. The hit I took to my confidence was astronomical. I think it brought my horse and I closer together.

Was it a horse accident? How did you draw closer to the horse?

I'm discovering that fear (mild PTSD) revolving around riding is so much more common then we think! Thanks for helping shed some light on the issue by sharing your experiences. Much appreciated!❤

It is amazing, isn’t it? The more older riders I speak with, the more I realize we’ve all gone through something like it.

And sometimes it takes a while to manifest itself. Plus, outside events affect your feelings in the saddle.

You’re not a real equestrian unless you have a chiropractor on speed dial.
