How To Safely Help Your Horse Over Fear Of Scary Things

Filed Under Pets | Posted on February 10, 2008

Have you ever handled a horse that was afraid of something it saw? If you handle and ride young or many different ones, it’s bound to happen. Some seem to be super sensitive to so many things whereas others take almost everything in stride. Some will see something they are afraid of and freeze, looking before deciding to leave and others will take off at the slightest suggestion of something amiss. I’ve been on them before that were so terrified of something that I could actually feel the horse’s heartbeat through the saddle.Not a confidence builder for horse or human either one!
