Riding Accidents
 How To Conquer Your Fear After A Riding AccidentKristina N. Lotz has ridden horses since she was a little kid, that`s why she is a huge animal lover. She has been fearless and has tried almost every horse discipline. But, as many horse riders she had an accident while riding. She`s broken her pelvis in three places and ended up in a wheelchair for some period. After that she could not imagine going back on her horse! Lucky for her she`s managed to conquer her fears! Here are some of her biggest advices that might help you if you`re having the same problem.FOCUSE ON YOUR GOALS. Ask yourself why do you want to ride again and always keep on mind the good times that you`ve had while riding. Get back to the joy you`ve felt while doing crazy stuff in the past. COMFORT IN NUMBERS. At the start of your recovery always have some of your closest friends and family around you for a support. Don`t ride alone, keep them close to you, because that will give you courage and security. You`ll be more relaxed when there are people watching over you. DON`T BUY THE BOOKS. For Kristina those books have been scary, because mostly they talk about more accidents and you don`t need that. That will only scare you more! Instead of buying books, meet with experienced riders and talk to them. GET A TRAINER. Find a good trainer who will understand your fear and who`ll know how to help you. A trainer with knowledge and experience is maybe the best way to conquer your fear! |
