what is your greatest horsie fear. my greatest horsie fear is when a draft horse goes to canter. when you are riding a draft they are big and there canter is scary, when they go to canter they take a leap into the canter. i dont know why this is my fear of all the things but it is, its probably because i grew up riding ponies and jumpers its a lot diffrent then riding a draft. i do show jumping so one might think my greatest fear would be the height or speed, but i can go head first blazing speed at a 3"3 oxer and not even hesitat. so this is my horse fear, whats yours. |

When it comes to riding I'm what they call an "anxious rider." I love horseback riding, but I have a hard time handling horses that are hot or spooky. Thankfully, my horse is a steady QH gelding so I rarely, if ever, worry about him taking off or spooking. That being said, I think my greatest fear is being on an uncontrollable horse. That could mean taking off or bucking. There is nothing worse that being on a horse that won't listen to you and is putting you at risk. You either have to decide to try and stay on said horse and dismount and eat dirt. |

i think my biggest fear is having a rotational fall. Its almost happened to me once, but luckily i managed to roll away so the horse didnt crush me. it was terrifying. I actually love riding dangerous, fast or spooky horses because it gives me a chance to really bond with the horse and teach them to be calm and happy, but when it comes to rotational falls, its terrifying for me. |

Weirdly enough, I'm not afraid of falls/bucking/speed/jumps, etc. I can keep my butt in the saddle so to speak like a champ. But I haven't ridden a horse since I fractured my elbow because I'm worried I won't be able to 'fight' them if they try to test my weak side/bad elbow. |

Health issues popping up suddenly. Happens all the time with horses, costs a bunch of money, you put in a bunch of time and work to correct it with no certainty everything will be fine again. |

Getting to the barn early in the morning or late at night and finding a horse that's been suffering for hours. Absolutely just stomach-dropping. |

Im very scared of holes and ditches, as my horses are clumsy and I would dread to have to put them down if something happened to them. Ive had nightmares. |

I am not afraid of crazy/untrained horses at all, falling and running off doesn't scare me same with rearing. I grew up on a pony that bolted and bucked XD Honestly what really scares me is falling under a horse and getting trampled or a horse falling on me. - The other thing that really scares me is waking up to my horses gone. I am so afraid of them being stolen since they are in front of my house. We have cameras on them at all times but I still worry. |
