I need some advice. A while ago I had a horse fall on me and break my leg. Of course I was alone when it happened, and had to ride home with it broken. That happened 15 years ago, and to this day I still worry about a horse falling on me. It's frustrating since I manage to take a lot of "try" out of my horses because I error on the side of caution, and won't let them work to their full ability since I hold them back. My horses have to find this incredibly frustrating!
Don't misunderstand me, I will definately get out and around something if needed, but if I'm not focused on a "job" like that, I catch myself worrying about the horse falling (like when I'm just trotting or loping along to get someplace, or to exercise my horse).
There seems to be some good horsemen on this site, and I thought I'd throw this problem out there to see what people had to say. Any ideas on how to get past this???
