How can I overcome fear of horses ??? I love them but I'm scared?

pony. that is the problem. you need to be riding a horse. all ponies are mean. that is their reputation and they sure live up to it. I started my children at age 5 on the big horses, then bought ponies. if you start spending time around the big horses, just petting them and watching others ride it will start soothing your nerves. also I recommend working on deep breathing when you feel you self getting upset helps. after i was bucked off of a new horse we bought i started humming or singing when i was in the saddle and always made sure i was smiling (even if i didnt want to) it really helped calm my nerves and translates into positive energy for the horse you are riding, good luck
