What Fears Do You have and Why?

My biggest and probably only real fear that I have is the unknown. This fear relates to a few other things though. For example, the ocean, space and death, there is so much unknown when it comes to these three things. I also would say that theses things are less of a fear to me and more just make me uncomfortable to think too much about all the unknown that surrounds it.

Until the age of about 16 I was afraid of horses, and that was more of a real fear. Although it came about a strange way. When I was younger, probably about 8 years old, my family went on a vacation to Dominican Republic. My brother really liked horses, so we all went horseback riding on the beach, I was so excited because I had never been on a horse before. It was nothing like I was expecting, I though I would actually get to ride the horse, instead I was on a pony with two people holding on with ropes. The whole time I just sat there, while my family was far ahead riding their horses themselves. Some how this experience turned in to a fear of horses for many years. When I was 16 I took riding lessons to get over my fear and it worked.
