Fear of jumping after a fall

First of all, fear is completely natural. We are dealing with large flight animals, and on top of that we are asking them to jump over fences, which is not without risk. I make this point because our instinct is often simply to want to "get rid of" the fear, and that usually means trying to push it away. When we do, the fear tends to grow. Try instead to accept the fear and let it be there. You can do what you want to do alongside the fear, and that is how you will find it shrinks. Challenge yourself with what frightens you, a step at a time. Focus on how you ride when you feel safe, in practical terms. How do you hold the reins? How do you ride the horse forward? Try to do exactly the same when you are doing things alongside the fear.

Good luck 🌸
