"I think maybe understanding that fear, both in it's rational and irrational forms, can help us see what our horses are going through when things are difficult for them."
Yes. I agree. I'm hoping that this is its benefit!
I didn't get a chance to see too clearly what you were doing on Sat - but hopefully next time I'll be able to watch more closely!
I think that one of the issues underlying everything for me, is not feeling like I'm the one that's allowed to set the agenda, which in my head I try to chalk up to lack of experience, but I think now that that's actually a cop-out, and it has more to do with not feeling 'allowed' to take charge. This is not just a horse-related thing, and it will be interesting trying to shift it.
