I realized today that the human body can hold on to fear for a very long time. Even when the mind thinks the fear is gone, the body holds on to it until the human can let it go. Libby helped me canter on Baucus today. It wasn't pretty and it took quite a while but I did it. Even when I really thought I wanted to canter, by body was holding back. I broke into a sweat, had trouble breathing, and at one point I was fighting back tears. Deep down the fear is there, hopefully working it's way out, today was a big step.
I wonder how long a horses body holds on to fear? Chance's body still hasn't let go, his mind has started letting go, but his body seems to be holding on pretty tight.
