Is it normal to be scared of horses?
Depends.It depends
Yes, it’s understandable to be scared of horses: they’re large, powerful animals, and you may not know how they’ll react. A little caution is common; intense fear that gets in the way of things is less common, but nothing to be ashamed of.
Horses can seem intimidating because they’re much bigger than you and their movements can be hard to predict. A bad experience, or simply not having spent time around them, can make that fear stronger. Plenty of people feel nervous around horses, even if they’re comfortable around other animals.
If it’s just a bit of wariness, that’s ordinary caution. If the fear stops you from doing things you want to do, you can take it at your own pace—there’s no rule that says you have to love horses.
