Today, while grooming my horse, a spider crawled onto my ear. As if that was bad enough, I'm extremely arachnophobic, so I shrieked out of habit, which in turn caused my horse to freak out and kick me. FML
OverTheJump tells us more.
Ok, my horse is a freaking rescue horse. He panics at the drop of a pin, I rescued him just a month ago from near death because of all the abuse he's been through. I'm currenty rehabilitating him and helping him through this rough patch.

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

As a professional equestrian, I feel I have the knowledge to suggest you take the time to train and desensitize your horse. If all it takes is for someone to scream to cause your horse to spook bad enough to kick or strike out, you've got a very green and/or traumatized horse. If you were flailing around in panic, this would be more rasonable, but just screaming shouldn't spook your horse to act out so dramatically. I would expect a jump off to the side, maybe even bolt if he or she is young, but to kick out at you proves that you need to work with your horse a little and develop it's confidence considerably. How do you expect your horse to tolerate the everyday occurances if he/she panics simply by any loud noise? If you ever plan to show, trail ride, ride off your property, or let anyone else (besides an accredited trainer) ride this individual, please desensitize and train your horse for the safety of your horse, yourself, and anyone else around.

Oof. Getting kicked by a horse is not a good thing. I would know. I got kicked by a really pissed off horse before, and trust me it wasn't a great experience.

Getting kicked by a horse isn't that big of a deal. You should have known better and not have screamed. Even if you're scared of spiders. I'm a rider. I wouldn't have screamed.

I'm very arachniphobic too. Today, my crush was out mowing his lawn across the street, and someone started knocking on the door, so I went to answer it. I opened the door and there was a HUGE spider dangling in front of my face. I screamed and starting having a panic attack. Not only did the person at the door see it, my crush did too. ._.
