Scared of water - young Arab mare faces her fears

Mesneh had a bit of an issue with crossing the stream, in fact the owners had to turn back for home as there was no way they could persuade her that there were no sharks or other dangers hiding in the water! I offered to go and help as it is always very interesting and a good learning opportunity to try and work these kind of things out. It is very important to approach these projects with no time limit, prepared to stay for as long as it takes. She really had it in her head that it was impossible to get to the other side. The idea was to get her closer, step by step, waiting each time till she was relaxed with her new position in relation to the water before asking for more. We would have liked her to put her nose down and smell or drink but that didnt happen so we tried to adapt the best we could to what was working. At some point she was close enough to step over the water but got really stuck and a bit shut down, she was very calm and her attention seems to be over the other side so we put more energy behind her with the flags and finally she took a leap of faith. We went back and forward till she was more chilled out about it and decided to call it a day. It rained heavily in the night so the next day there was rather more water. She quite happily went straight over and so we went onto the next stream where she put her head down do drink and enjoyed playing in the water, all thoughts of horse eating monsters a thing of the past. Next stage is to repeat it while riding and search out as many other places with water to give her lots of experience and practice. Thank you to the lovely Josephine and Mezneh for the learning and filming opportunity!
