How Can I Be More Comfortable Around Bigger Horses?


I was working with a large half draft horse with some issues. I think that was the turning point of my confidence dropping when working with larger horses. I find that I am SO much more comfortable around the smaller Quarter horses and especially the Arabs which are my absolute favorite horses to work around… just seems like I can read them better and just get along better with that breed. They can be flighty but I’m not intimidated when they happen to spook. If they act up I feel like I have the ability to direct them.
When that half draft spooked it frightened me badly. she would just be a bulldog, running through any aids I gave her. It’s like she would forget I was there. She would always step on my toes or come close to it.
I used to not be so uncomfortable around my friend’s 17hh gelding but now I am! 🙁 if I walk him I’m stretch my arm out so he’s further away and look at my feet and his huge feet when I used to not be so cautious.
Any advice? Should I try to get more comfortable around bigger horses or should I just stick to my little Arabs lol?
