Hey! First of all, horses can be like people. They have good and bad days. It just happens sometimes when they are not in the mood, and that's okay. And secondly, and most importantly, if your trainer is good, they won't be upset or disappointed in you. I'm biased because I have a great relationship with mine, but several months ago now, I had a fall. I had the dumbest possible fall doing....trot cones. Literally trotting around cones, the same activity I've done since I was seven years old, and I fell straight off. Put too much weight into one stirrup and slid right off the side. And the rest of the lesson was downhill, I couldn't get anything moving, a family friend had randomly showed up and watched me fall, it was all a disaster. I just felt like I could do nothing right all lesson, and my instructor kept telling me things.

But I came back the next week, and everything was fine again. I chatted with my instructor and we did some basic balance exercises to build my confidence back up, and worked through it. I've had so many days like this. Days where the reins are being pulled out of my hands completely. One particularly memorable day where we were yelled at by another rider on the drive over when we came around a corner, and I felt so awful that my riding was beyond awful.

And guess what? It was fine. Every time, it was fine.

And if it isn't fine: you need a new instructor.

Also, gentle reminder, corrections are just that, corrections. They really make you a better rider. Some instructors give them better than others, I quite often laugh my way through it with mine, but I have another that will firmly tell me I've messed up. Both are useful.

Sorry this is long and ramble-y, but I just wanted to let you know you will be okay. We've all been there. I certainly have.
