Through the growing up process, we get to discover a lot of things about ourselves, the things we love and the things that we are afraid of. The majority of people all around the world have their fears. Believe it or not, but there are also people who are afraid of everything that surrounds them and they are usually locked in white rooms. Same as us humans, a lot of animals have their fears also.
Well, one of the most frequent fears, although it might sound surprising to you is the fear of humans, especially for those animals who were born and raised in the wild who are not familiar with humans at all. However, all of us can get over our fears by facing them. For example, when I was young I was afraid of dogs but at this point, I really love them.
It can be a difficult and long journey, however, it is possible to beat the fears that you have if you can convince yourself that the thing that you are scared off is not something that you should be scared off. I am pretty sure that the horse in the video below will overcome his fear as well. This dressage horse is out on a cross-country ride and everything he does is great.
His jumps are amazing, but when water comes in front of him, he freezes! The rider handles the horse perfectly, she remained calm and everything was in control. The horse must get over his fear of water and someone must guide him through that. A lot of training is in front of these two and in the end, things will work out fine if they give their best.
For now, he can’t be an event horse but hopefully, he will manage to overcome his fear with lots of help from his trainer. I am very optimistic and I strongly believe that through the help of his owner, he will overcome this fear and become one of the best performers that you can find out there. Please have a look at the video below and let us know about your horses’ fears as well.
