My horsey fears are:
Going at any speed above a walk downhill - ever since I had a bad fall a few years ago when the horse bolted down a fairly steep hill and then tripped and went completely head over heels (I was luckily thrown clear but landed on my face and tore my bottom lip away from my face).
My horse being attacked/chased by other (loose) horses while I'm riding in their field
Recently I have started jumping and developed a slight fear of the horse refusing and throwing me off - has happened once but I think it was down to over-excitement and not enough build-up so I think I will get over it with more practice
All mine are things that have happened in the past so I don't think I have any truly irrational ones. I can't think of any non-horsey fears but I'm sure they will come to me...
