How to overcome fear when you’re riding a horse

موقع أيام نيوز

trying to let us know our underlying fear needs acknowledging.
It is OK to be afraid. This fear may bust out at any time materialising as feeling irrationally scared maybe out on a hack or while youre schooling your horse. My fear used to materialise in dressage tests. I would ride down the centre line and could not remember if I had to turn right or left. My mind would go blank and I would feel sick as the judges bell rang. I would often go wrong again. In fact I gave up competing for a while as I realised that something was going on for me. I needed to address my own fear.

Inside your body when you are calm
Once danger has passed your brain lets your body know via the nervous system that all is safe. The calming hormones of serotonin and dopamine are released returning your breathing and heart rate back to normal. The frontal cortex is the logical part of the brain which enables you to think clearly. With practice you can regulate your nervous system so that you stay calm.
