"Hi

I'm Cleo Price and I'm 13-years-old and I want to ask a question about cross-country and eventing.

I've recently taken part in my riding club's two-day event and I found it really fun and exciting, but when it got to the cross-country phase it fell to pieces. I was riding a fairly excitable pony and I really wasn't that confident, which wasn't helped by the nasty fall I'd had the day before and on the same pony. Consequently, the pony got very tense and we only got to the second fence until we were eliminated after three refusals.

I have a really encouraging riding teacher but I'm not sure what to do. I guess I've learned from this experience, but do you have any tips for getting more confident on cross-country? I used to be quite a nervous rider but have mostly conquered my nerves - it's just at the cross-country that I need to grit my teeth and carry on with, but its really hard. Hope you can help."
