i have been riding for three years and have owned my horse for three months... within the first month we had this freaky bond wherbhe babysat me... after he woukd throw someone off of him i would get on and he was fine... just little bird spooked him and we were bookin it... around the jumpig arena a thousand times.. he is quarter horse and has gaits larger than the giant percheron at the barn.... also qh can have bursts of 50 mph which im sure was happening before i fell off.... and then i was totally confident to get back on.. then the mouth accident happened and i still wasnt scared... but we got a bew bit (waterford) so he cant lean on it, and that may be why i am reluctant cuz i dont know how he will reapond to it (which he responds perfectly to it)...also before i never cantared in jumps because he is known to go one gait faster after he lands it.. and i was fine taking off after a jump and idk what has changed.. my dad says its all in my head... any tips on how to get it out of my head before i have to lose his natural jumper instinct!!!

the best thing to do is to not think about it and get right back on. you don't have to jump, just sit on him and walk around a bit. then build on it. you will gain your confidence and will enjoy your lovely horse again! have fun and be safe

my horse bucked me and broke my arm last year
