Why are horses nervous? Where does horse anxiety originate? Although this is not an exhaustive and exclusive list, these are a few reasons horses act nervous or anxious. Fear is a potent and natural component of the horse’s cognitive behavior. As a prey animal, fear is an essential response to danger; and signals the flight reaction. Startle reflexes, like bolting, propping, running off, etc., can all be responses to fear. It is natural for horses to respond to subtle sounds and loud noises. Sudden movements nearby can signal predators. Even though fear is a basic survival instinct for the horse, it is usually not a desirable characteristic while riding or performing. Confusion by the horse can be very frustrating to the horse himself, and the rider. When the horse does not understand commands, it is easy for him to become agitated and act out. This can be from the anticipation of negative consequences or the horse’s emotional responses. Horses certainly vary in temperament, so some horses’ emotional responses are much greater than others. The rider needs to understand when persistence in training is productive and when it is counterproductive. Each horse is an individual concerning his or her tendencies. They vary in their levels of natural innate responses to their surroundings, whether human or environmental. Getting to know and understand your horse’s unique personality will help minimize the negative aspects of the prey mentality.
