Fears seen in horses are thought to be related to their natural instinct as if they were in the wild. Wild horses live in herds, and at any sign of danger will run. Sudden noises and movements would be what the dominant leader of the herd would be wary of, so that is why so many horses often 'spook' at something unexpected. A horse being afraid of a piglet, or any other animal, may be to do with their wild predators. <P>

<P>It is common for horses to be frightened of pigs, but nobody really knows why. You can help him overcome his fear by working with him to put all his trust in you.

You need to get him to focus on you and not what is scaring him. To do this, start moving his feet forward, backward, left and right. Whatever you do, don't try to hold him still. When a horse is scared, every fiber of his being says to run. If he can't run, he'll fight, so instead, let him move, but under your control. You make sure it is not scared of you, otherwise you might get trampled.
