Second, I don't know how much "teaching" goes into instructing somebody how to ride. If it's a lot, you may want to find somebody else to teach her and then you can go back to being her better half while you are riding. Same reason I wouldn't teach a loved one how to fly. I would be happy to work on technique or specifics, but not the whole thing. It's too fine of a line to take. I know people that have done it (and good for them) but it's not something I want to attempt.
Maybe once you distance yourself from the accident a bit, and the visuals fade from your head, you will be more comfortable with the whole thing, and I'm guessing rather impressed that she wants to get back out again.
Again, I'm glad it wasn't more serious. |
She will be taking the MSF course nearby, but for some reason they are not starting it this year until May 23rd. She was champing at the bit to get riding, and I thought we could at least do some riding to get her started. Like I said, many bad decisions on my part. We should have just waited. I think her and I will both have this put behind us once she is a competent rider and we are happily trudging along.
