does ne riders have some good tips on riding?? Like... good ways to stay calm and in control (link)

I have been riding for 9 years, have had MANY MANY spills off of horses and related incidents, so I can totally understand the nervousness part of horseback riding, you are on a 1000lb animal with a mind of its own :)
First of all, you should start taking lessons. Instructors will ease you into the whole riding experience and will take you slow in order to ensure that you know how to properly handle a situation if anything should go wrong.
You should also (if possible) try to get to know a certain horse. This helps a great deal to trust a horse and get confortable with it, as it will help you in the long run with any other horses.
If you were to fall off, the MOST (and i underline that!) inportant thing to do is make sure that you get right back on, no matter how scared you are. I have taken more spills off of horses then I can count( I enjoy riding crazy idiot horses :) and the longer it takes you to get back on that horse, the harder its going to be! I have seen many people leave the horse industry because of fear. Don't let it happen to you!
Good luck! and keep on riding!
[Much love] Ashley
P.S. Which style of riding do you do? Which breed of horses do you ride? W/b!
