RE: [RC] Fear - Jeanie Bartson

Ray-
Thanks for sharing that-- It sounds like you really had one bad ride,
thankfully you weren't killed 
(And Chico is lucky you didn't sell him!)

Could you elaborate on how you worked through what went wrong - why
Chico ran away and how you corrected him from trying that again.  Did
you just do more ground work/training issues, or did you switch bits or
change your style of riding? It's very easy to dwell on the fear and not
make pro-active adjustments. 

I appreciate input and thoughts- I think it may help Jen and those of us
starting out to get ideas for preventing the run away horse.  I am
working through some trail training now myself, and rarely venture out
on the trail alone.  
Of course in RC I have read stories about how some horses run away even
when they are with other horses- but I always wonder what the
preliminary signs were, if any, and how they recovered, etc etc.

Thanks
Jeanie

==========================================

Suggestion: Get OUT of touch with your feelings.(They won't disapear
from 
lack of attention.)Stop dwelling on how you feel,and focus on what you
THINK 
and what you plan to DO. When Chico ran away with me,fell at a full 
gallop,and rolled over me,I was nearly killed.But I didn't get back into

riding by thinking aboutfear,of which I guess I had plenty.I thought 
about,and tried to find out more about,what went wrong and what I needed
to 
do.
