I think after the last 2 years of having such horrible (not horse related) things happen in my life, I just have this overwhelming fear of "what next" type of thinking. Surely something bad is bound to happen again so I have it in my head that it could be anything, me riding or even just grooming, etc. I have a strong faith in Jesus but still fear! Working on that is a struggle for sure and I know only God knows what will happen next and I needn't worry. Yet...I do. This book gives some great tools for helping with fear in regard to horses, which you can transfer to just fears in general as well - although not sure why anyone would read this unless they were into horses too :) But all that said, it is well written. Am I fear-free now? Nope. Will I be? Maybe. But at least I'm working on it and feel better about that at least and I know it's not just me. I do wish more instructors would read this book and be on the same page, that would be awesome :)
