I've been riding horses for about 7 years now and within the past 6 months I've been kicked twice, both painfully. No damage was done though. Throughout the years I've been bit countless times. And charged at twice. Is it normal to not have any fear for these big animals?
Normal. Being hurt by them won't stop you because riding horses is something you enjoy.
Yeah, you like them :)
I used to help my older sister break horses when I was much younger. Never scared me either!
My stallion gypsy cob 16.2hh (Barney Stardust Feathers IV) kicks me, rears up. hates me daily. he also. tries to kill me but I have NEVER been afraid of that horse. However, Shetland fucking evil cunt Ponies? Shit scary. it isnt size or whether the horse is gonna try to fuck u up each time ur near. its about evilness.
I hate horses. Dirty ugly smelly stupid worthless creatures reminding me shit.
If you generated a phobia of every animal that scratched, bit or kicked you, you wouldn't like most animals.
Except spiders, not many people are hurt by them.
Or sharks.
Duh. I have ridden horses for 8 years and I have been kicked, stepped on, thrown many times and I'm not scared of them.... It's the same way for most other long-time horse back riders. You understand why it happens and enjoy them anyways so it's completely normal.
If everyone quit after getting kicked once, horse back riders would have became a dying breed long ago.
Normal, with every kick and recovery you have conditioned your mind to not be afraid of them. You know how to handle these kinds of situations now and know what and what not to do.
