Omar and Eskie, hang in there in overcoming your fears. Good for you for facing them. I got bucked off my 16.3 TB gelding a year ago and broke my collar bone. It was four months before the doc would let me climb back on. I was scared spitless that he might buck me off again. He's big boy who can buck like a rodeo bronc. I've never been afraid of a horse before. All my life my attitude was that if I could get a leg over it's back I could ride it. I rode horses no one else wanted to get on. It was a strange feeling to be afraid of this guy. It took time. I took lots of precautions to be sure he was nice and quiet before I climbed on him. It's taken time but last week when I was riding him he objected to something and bucked. I sat deep, made him keep his head up and smacked him with the crop. If I can do it so can both of you!
