Sometimes afraid to ride...?

my suggestion would be a new helmet and a cross country vest.. and you should be fine. think abotu it really if you weren't wearing the helmet ect... well you were so keep using it helmets are useful. Trust me i know about falling i got launched time after tiem after time on the same pony to the point where i wouldn't get on him. I had over came that by just getting on and having someoen lead me so taht way they could stop the pony if need be but just getting on and breathing and relaxing is GOOD.
