After 8 years of no regular riding and no barrel racing I bought a gelding in December. He's 6 and very well broke and talented. I've taken it slow riding him so that I can get to know him and get used to riding again. Problem is I'm having fear issues about loping!! That's causing me to hang on his head when I ask him to lope and he's not appreciating the mixed messages. Today he bucked me off. I'm very confident that it's me causing the problem so I want to find somewhere in the OKC area for lessons on a lesson horse to get my confidence and seat back. Can anyone recommend a trainer or facility? English, western, it doesn't matter, I just want someone to help me conquer this and it doesn't have to be a barrel trainer as he hasn't been started on the pattern.. When I feel confident I'l get back on my gelding and take lessons with him so we can move on together.
