However through Clinton Anderson clinics, I felt the fear disolve. I now know the key is the horse's respect for you. If the horse respects your private space while your on the ground and moves his feet as you request then he is more likely to respect and listen to you while in the saddle.

I haven't ridden since. My phobia of being seriously injured and/or killed in a riding accident is so severe that I don't think I'll ever get on a horse again. Even though the odds might be in my favor, I can't help but thinking that those things do happen and worry that they could happen to me.
