I think I've mentioned this before.
I have a phobia about horses. It isn't that I'm nervy around them, or I think they may bite or kick me, nothing like that.
A horse in my field of vision sends me almost paralytic with fear. The animal can be in a stable, a field, in a parade - whatever - while I'm safely secured in my house or in a car with the doors locked. Doesn't matter. I go sweaty, I have trouble breathing, my vision goes wonky.
I have trouble watching films with horses in them. We don't keep horsey ornaments in the house. Even writing about them in this post makes me uneasy.
I've never been hurt by a horse - I've never been close enough for that to happen. The only time I tried to conquer this fear was when I was around 13 or 14. I got about twenty yards from a horse that was milling about in a paddock. She looked my way and nickered. I passed out cold.
