Crisis of confidence

[ahlam1399]

I am looking for some advice please :) I have recently bought a new horse and he is proving himself to be very lovely but for some reason I get really nervous around him. I had my other horse for 3 years and went through a bit of a tough time with him, he was very anxious and nervy and could be quite unpredictable, as much as I loved him, everything was a bit of a struggle. In contrast, the new boy is very chilled out, takes everything in his stride but I get really nervous when I think about things we will be doing this summer like taking him over to a show or hacking out faster than a walk. I don't know what it is, I think I just start imagining all of the things that could go wrong and then it makes me not want to do them. I am worried that I will be so nervous when it comes to doing them that it will transfer to him and make him tense or misbehave. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get over this silliness?I liked to think I am quite a confident rider if I know the horse, my friend's cob reared me off and stood on me at the show today out of excitement but I got back on him when we were back at the yard and felt absolutely fine but for some reason the thought of riding my own horse who has never reared or done anything naughty really scares me. Help :(
