Hey I just wanted to reach out to you personally. I was terrified of riding after I fell of my Percheron and broke my wrist in two places. It was horrible. I wrote a blog about it that you are more than welcome to skim though. http://fearlessriding.blogspot.com/ . Jane Savoie’s book really did help me so much. I am reading another right now that sounds like might help you with your boy too. It is called Horse Speak: Conversations with horses in their language. If you every want to chat or vent I would be happy to listen. I know how difficult it can be.
Thank you for your recommendation! And kind words! It is definitely been a frustrating experience, but I am so optimistic we are on the tail end of the issues (for now).
