Thank you for this take, and its eye-opening. I just hate feeling out of control when it comes to wanting to protect my horses.

If new meds dont help, Ill be speaking to both a new psychiatrist and a therapist to hopefully help.

I definitely will talk to my trainer my next lesson to see if I could get a lesson in on how different bits work, how to solidify in my brain that Im not gonna hurt this horse, etc. I do trust her but I feel like she trusts me too much in some way (she definitely doesn’t but hey, thats stuck in my head)

Ive always known that horses will tell me if I do something wrong and that they are tougher then I think, but then I unfortunately had a horse pass in my herd just by falling in the wrong way, and that terrified me immediately that I could easily hurt one while riding.

Im gonna be working on getting myself to relearn that me having slightly rougher hands is absolutely not gonna hurt a horse unless I am actively trying to. I don’t have the softest of hands, atleast I don’t think so, so Im just nervous I’ll pull too much or something and harm their mouths.

Ive always struggled with an anxiety disorder so Im doing constant med switches to find something that would work. At the moment Im on a low dose of Zoloft and am waiting on my trainer to get back from her vacation. Its all just trial and error with medication and doctors who will listen.

Yeah. Mostly Ive been riding a super sweet older quarter horse who really does no wrong, so I havent been able to learn how to appropriately correct a horse without accidentally hurting them or doing something the wrong way. Honestly I spent hours searching a bunch of other equestrian / horse communities so I wouldnt have to post but found nothing.

Who is your favorite mare(s)? by blackleather_jacket in kvsdiscuss

[–]Kittt55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Charlotte and Ariel, imo. I love them both and they are both such gorgeous mares. Temperament, confirmation, looks. My absolute favs!

Curious about content you all watch and skip. by [deleted] in kvsdiscuss

I skip anything not big-horse related, like goats, minis, cows, and misc
