Probably, the worse place to be afraid of horses is in a farm. That was exactly were Lucy lived, and her life was a constant torture. There was no particular reason she was afraid of horses, they had never hurt her, nor had she ever fallen from one. She had been afraid of them since ever, possibly since the first day she had laid her eyes on one.
Everyone thought they were magnificent animals, but she was not able to admire their beauty. A mere neigh would send chills down her spine. When her younger sister entered at jumping competitions, she was the only one who stayed at home, as the thought of seeing so many horses together in one place made her feel sick. The life in the farm was wrecking her nerves, so when she was old enough she moved to the city. It was the place where she would be safer from those four legged monsters. And she was, for a while.
One day, as she walked through the park, she heard a familiar clacking noise. She turned around alarmed, and met face to face with one of the animals. She was so scared that she fell on a flower bed nearby, while everyone watched trying to hold the laughter.
