I'm trying! really!

Being a horse student now seems like some kind of karma lesson, where I’m the dummy in class. I shouldn’t say that but that’s how I feel sometimes. I remember when I first started teaching I sometimes suspected that some people couldn’t REALLY be as bad as they seemed, they had to be playing - before I learned they really were that bad -
And now I know firsthand how that feels.... we are trying really hard, we just can’t get it yet!

Just give you some time, enjoy getting to know your horse and I'm sure you'll be fine. Good luck!

my poor teacher! haha I feel for her! because I know how she feels!!
I think I have a mental block about the reins & how much you have to "have contact" as they put it. I've got a ride later today, that's what I'll be working on..... and relaxing & breathing.... geez

Oh, man. I know how you feel. I felt that way (and still do!) during BD lessons.

I know riding, though, so just relax but stay alert. Let your horse know you but let him know that you trust him/her.

Good luck!
