Panic fear when cantering or trotting quickly?

I rode a young horse for the first time on Tuesday, and he got scared and ran off (it wasn't the first time that's happened to me). I then fell off, but nothing else happened.

Today I went riding and when I started to canter I was terrified, even when I was trotting I was just as scared

Can anyone give me tips on how to get rid of this?

Fear of riding is only lost by riding.

To do this, you should take good lessons, the better you can ride, the less you need to be afraid.

I've helped to pick up from that step.

Or to reduce the circle in the trot and then to gallop.

Even the analloping to a closed side helped me.

In principle, you are right – only the case is probably here that these normal procedures are excluded because fear is caused by control loss. When the (young!) horse goes through….

This also helps to gallop from the step and the closed side.

and if the circle gets rid of properly.
In addition, it is a generalized fear, it is also afraid on other horses,

Best combination – unsafe riders and young horses… if you have no experience with young horses, leave your fingers or work only under the guidance of jmd who knows it. Of course, they have fluff in their head, scare themselves more often, are simply still insecure and need someone who is stubborn, radiates security – and knows what he is doing. Everything else is tingling horses.

By the way, you can do groundwork until St. Neverday, but now is not the cure. Properly made it can help the horse to become more psychologically and physically stable. And can also help you get a better base with the horse under expertly versed instructions. But does not solve the problems among the saddles and is also not a substitute for ridicule. Not mean evil – everyone has started and has to learn another way, but please not with young horses who have to learn a lot.

In the most unfavorable case, the young horse learns very quickly that it starts to run “shall” because it is “remunerated” by facilitating rider weight. Then it is said that the horse is evil and unpredictable; it is in good faith, it had done everything right

If you're afraid to fly off, you shouldn't ride young horses.
If you're afraid of it, you don't have to go to the gallop until you've won security.
If you're afraid of fast runs, you're just slow.

When I was young, I fell down far over a hundred times – that was just part of it. That's why my father sent me to Judo. You learn and practice well to roll out quickly. Then the fall doesn't scare you anymore, because otherwise there is no big difference whether another person throws you over the shoulder in battle, or if you fall off the horse. Vaulting would also be a very helpful training option here.

The fear of general loss of control is overcome only by learning “his craftsmanship” correctly. And you learn to ride properly on well-trained horses from a good riding instructor. It's best to get back to the lunge.

In principle, it always depends on what one is focused on: what could happen (problem-oriented) or what to do (solution-oriented).

————————

The “binding” you build on the ground has no impact on your elite skills and does not prevent you from falling down. There is no connection between a horse above the saddle or a shy horse. Especially if the rider gets stressed even then. If a horse falls under a saddle or shoots, it is necessary to let go.

With very, very good teaching and much better guidance than before.

I would not have gone directly to the ground in the fall, but would have strengthened the basics in the course.

It's not done with any tips.

All right. Then change nothing to the answer that there is more than good lessons to give you safety.

Trust the lunge again.

Hopefully, if you think nothing happens, hopefully my horse… Not that you're completely different with your thoughts. It has always helped me when I was insecure just to call the thoughts of my riding instructor in the head paragraph deep, get where I want, round circles presented to me exactly what I want to do next etc. So I had no place for negative thoughts

Where does that happen, the unfixed rider ride young horses? And above all, WHY? So that the young animal turns into a correction horse?

If it wasn't bad, there's no reason to be afraid, right? But it's not that you have become aware of how little you have grown into a more difficult situation – and that's what you want to see. At that point almost every rider was probably already. And then it is necessary to decide whether to buy the trap as natural, or to adjust its riding and avoid dangerous situations (as they bring young horses). But that you were even afraid on the familiar horse, shows how much your self-examination was shaking. You just didn't really realize how present the dangers are. If, however, the fact that one could fall, one is insecure, it should ensure that the risk is minimized. Because fear is not simply an annoying feeling in such situations, but a natural warning signal.

You actually know that this is not true because no person can ride so unbridled that you can achieve what it should be good for: explain to the horse that it goes on quite normally. Only who can do this (ie 0.5% of the falls) should get up again. Who can have normal radiation from the ground can do a bit of groundwork. Everyone else is better looking for someone who can work relaxed with the horse.

Even one should get up again if one wants to, because one misses riding so that one no longer has the fall situation in memory and if one is clear how to avoid getting back into such a situation.

when after who fell down, someone else makes ground work with the horse, that doesn't use anything to the rider at all, he has to learn to stay up, who sits too loose on the horse and doesn't pay attention, who falls down, has already happened to me, the rider has to learn to stay up when the horse doesn't just jump like the rodeo
