Oh I know all about fear of riding....I get an A+ in it......

My thoughts....do you lunge her before you ride her? To check out her mood?

Can you get one of those eventer's vests to wear to protect your back and ribs a bit in the event that you are thrown again? I got one- my friend was riding her bombproof horse when the horse tripped and fell and she fell and broke her ribs. Being over 50 one needs to have a bit more protection.

Sending hugs and healing thoughts and most of all prayers for courage and belief in your capacity to read the signs of your mare and respond to them appropriately.

Also, do you take glucosamine? It really helps me with these things and of course arnica.
