A good training horse won’t pay attention to it. The person in charge of the training stables will coach you and start you on the best horse. The horse might be 40 years old, but it’s a start. :-) You’d love it once you tamed the fear.

One of my favorite quotes is “the best thing for the inside of a person is the outside of a horse”. That might not exact, but it means the same.

Most horses are really gentle creatures, but they are timid about things.

I no longer ride due to osteoporosis in one hip and the expense, but my love of horses is as strong as ever.

Just do it! LOL

Thanks, but I have a fear of heights and falling. Actually my height! Sitting astride a steed would put me in the clouds! I fell on ice once, broke 7 ribs and bruised a lung.
9 days in hospital and 2 months recovery. Ribs still hurt and I swore never to stand up again! Seriously, horses are fabulous especially if you grow up with them.
