Keep away from your horse until you are confident. Trying to force yourself to go near your horse will ruin him and yourself. Horses can tell if you are confident or scared, and if you are scared or nervous, he will be to. He will also gain domination over you. You should go to some natural horsemanship classes, or, if it is just that horse you are afraid of, sell him on to somebody more experienced and buy a quiet schoolmaster.
