Samenvatting:

''Afraid to ride? Get a bombproof horse.'' This standard advice did not work for me! What happened to me? I'd ridden and trained horses for 20 years. How could I overcome the unreasonable fear that kept me out of the saddle?Books always have answers! I headed for the library and found many excellent books dealing with equine fear - but what about human fear?People who have never felt fear have a difficult time understanding fear. Riding instructors are not plagued with fear - they can only imagine what it feels like to lose confidence. I was going to have to solve the problem of fear myself - and I would take notes just in case I succeeded and overcame fear. I didn't want to forget what fear feels like and what it takes to overcome fear. Fear was my problem, not my ''boombproof'' horses' problem. I was going to have to figure out how to bombproof myself!And I did!With much trial and error I succeeded! I learned what doesn't work (that was the easy part) and with several important turning points and breakthroughs I was able to overcome fear and once again enjoy riding. I became a bombproofed human - and you can too!I share my ''story'' in this book so readers struggling with fear can learn the elements that went into creating my fear to better understand their own fear.''Knowledge is power''
