Had a very bad accident years ago... spinal injury that also affected my eyesight and hearing. I couldn't have gotten back on and ridden if my life had depended on it. 5 years later my back was healed, eyes and hearing good, and I wanted to be around horses again. I finally got the guts to go to a local riding instructor and told her what had happened and that I could hardly even pet a horse much less ride one.. .. but I wanted to overcome my fear. She was one smart lady and I'll always be grateful to her. She took a big 17 hand, half draft 20 year old horse that had beginning arthritis in most of its legs and told me this was my lesson horse. I had to ride it, only, for my lessons until I could make it canter once around the entire acre training ring without stopping and then I could start riding other lesson horses if I chose to. This gentle, huge, slow walking old dude could hardly be made to walk fast. Sometime in the 3rd-4th week I finally got the old guy to canter once around the ring without stopping. I hugged him goodbye and thanked him. By that time, I was SOOOO bored, but great at walking and slow trotting (grin), that I got that poor guy to do that one round of cantering.... finally realizing my fear had mostly dissipated. My instructor put me on a medium active horse next, and 2 weeks later was given the opportunity to ride one of her "fire breathers" who was like riding in a Maserati..... I did, handled that guy..... and realized I was totally cured and having the time of my life!!!! I never looked back after that and went on to do hunter/ jumper, dressage, cutting, trail riding. Also trained other people's horses under saddle. (I bought an untrained hot horse 'fire breather' of my own, trained him, and he ended up being my heart horse.) I understood, I needed to respect the strength and flight tendency of horses, yet to learn how to be around them properly by getting good basics, balance, and good training and learning horses themselves. Bless that smart lady, and that generous old guy (who she took back to the youngster riding ring for the new riding students to use .... grin). Always, always have been grateful. My life would have been so much less had I not been able to follow my heart and instincts.

Love this, thanks for sharing xx

[@dianegenx]

Please do a long form video of this. Rider fear is so common.

[@renayeblack5906]

Excellent advice....I agree with the 4/4/4 sec. breath, slow down. 🐎

[@SisterGoldenHair111]

It’s true’ you have to get back on the horse. It knocks your confidence.

[@makaylaserniotti1474]

The word you’re looking for is “traumatic” for that second fear. Yes, trauma can be very real from seemingly minor experiences, it’s a learning mechanic that kept our ancestors alive. Now it’s a nuisance 😅😂 You’re such a great teacher, helping her out!!

[@marshaworkman2764]

Excellent advice!! Thank you for reminding me!!❤😊

[@schiros123]

Ryan is the best! this is such an efficient and powerful way to directly deal with anxiety from bad experiences. It doesn’t take away the danger but it does help put you in a better place to deal with whatever happens.

[@ryanrosehorsemanship]

😃👍

[@topolinofarm9343]

I'll be using these strategies. Thank you. Sometimes my mare is really extra. She's sensitive and we've had some really shit experiences together. I've had spine surgery since getting her and she has a lot of body pain issues that we're working on. So it's been a long road of some very scary situations. She's finally coming around to be more predictable but I still don't trust her fully. The problem now is that the only way for her to earn my trust back is for me to allow her to do it and THAT is where my fear kicks in. So I'll be breathing and reminding myself that this is fun and I CAN DO IT. ❤️

[@kellythyben3984]

Your horse will react to how you feel they can sense your tension so very important to try to relax or that will translate to them. Horses use smell to sense their surroundings so they can smell fear which is a pheromone that humans exhibit with fear…

[@MarcoNotPolo]

Great explanation on types of fear & great advice ✌️

[@HB-yg3ke]

Needed this after the lesson I had this week 😂

[@PONYHEAVEN]

I worship your culture. Your respectful, serious, always always encouraging us weekend rider folks. You give us optimism, trust into ourselves. Be blessed.

[@IDIOT4REAL]

I've never actually had even a little fear towards horses, I've loved them forever 😭

[@mikehenry6284]

Super great advice you gave her Ryan! Fear can really mess with your mind in so many ways, and stop you from doing something you once loved. Blessings to you and yours Ryan 🙌 Jennifer

[@lorileonhardt7217]

Thanks for addressing this. I'm 'one of them too'

[@Kelly_Ben]

I love the mantra. 26 years ago my first horse got startled, reared up, and landed on me. I was luckily not injured, but it took 20 years, 2 months of professional training, and countless lessons to get over most of it. What finally returned my confidence was 2 online courses in managing fear while riding. Wish every cent. Based on this short, I bet a clinic with this guy would have done it much faster and a whole lot cheaper!

[@JaneDoe-gh1ce]

Hey, I am a ( german) psychologist working with traumatised people and horses in therapy. You are doing an excellent Job and i really love your explanations!!! For lowering your heartrate via breathing, it is importend to breath out longer then you breath in and NOT to hold your breath.

[@desertdweller9255]

Horseback riders have the most amount of emotional intelligence than any other profession I've seen!

[@rooirand100]

Takes a second to lose your confidence and can take years to build confidence back. For sure it’s going to take time and NO ONE can afford to get hurt and that includes trainers as well. Ryan does a nice job and i enjoy watching his videos.

[@johnrago2456]

Thank you. This works.

[@joysgobba5497]

You are such an INCREDIBLE teacher and horseman. Thank you for all you do Ryan!

[@debrahenderson6381]

Good advice.

[@brentpotts1988]

That’s awesome

[@nicolaholland1]

I am going to use this advice for my daughter to handle her anxiety.

[@Kneehighsocks]

I had an accident when a horse bolted and that fear moves over when I’m learning how to cantar

[@CCM8817]

If you aren't self assured and believe that , that's what your Horse smell and feel

[@nickolasrobbers8170]

when I was 13, I bought a brood mare paint she was green broke long story short, I got kicked in the face while loading her in a trailer to go to a lesson . 3 days out of the ER, my dad maid me go pet and bathed her because he didn't want me to be afraid of horse's . 1 shattered jaw 3 titanium plates with screws lost 5 front teeth. I do not have any fear of horses or cows. I bought a pony for my daughter, and now we both work with the horse together. I still have some fears, but I take a break, relaxe collect my thoughts, and then move me. Being like this has helped a lot with all animals . pressure and release and body language means everything.

[@kobusdutoitbosman6240]

you are very good Ryan it inspires immensely 👊🔥🥂 🪖

[@justarandomusernamex]

I have both fears

I think there's a third fear. What happened to her'former' horse? I speculate that she's afraid she's going to commit the same mistake which would lead to another injury.

[@mavrosyvannah]

I never ride anyone who's not my friend. That takes no more than 3 hours to 3 days.

[@katmeow3897]

Does anyone have the link to the long video of this clip?

[@jodykurt9935]

New horse? What happened to old horse?

[@Lilian040210]

There's so much bs heroics tied into this, but the thing is, if it's stressing you too much, just don't do it. Horse riding is entertainment and if entertainment is not fun anymore than what's the point?

[@suzieparis6821]

The new horse will know n possibly toss her because of it

[@Oldappleorchard]

So her fear is justified then from real lived experience and not a made up fear
