The Sims 4 Horse Ranch expansion introduces a new fear called Fear of Horses.
Horses with the Aggressive trait can sometimes trigger this fear, especially if your Sim is not very good with animals and hasn’t had much experience handling horses.
As a quick reminder, rescue horses often have negative traits such as Aggressive, Defiant, or Fearful. They typically require more care and attention.
How to Overcome Your Fear of Horses
To overcome your Fear of Horses, talk about this fear with other Sims. Click on the interaction labeled “Discuss Fear of Horses” when it becomes available.
Then, confront your fear head-on and spend more time around horses. Have your Sim do the things they’re afraid of.
If they fell off the horse the first time they tried to ride one, try again.
Make sure your Sim’s needs are in the green, and they’re in a Confident mood before getting near horses after developing a fear of them.
Having a positive state of mind before attempting any horse-related activities will give them the courage to tackle their fear effectively.
Talking about their Fear of Horses helps Sims gain support and understanding from their friends.
By the way, Sienna Grove is one of the best people to open up to about this fear.

Equally important, encourage your Sim to do the very things they fear the most, whether it’s approaching a horse or trying to ride one.
Remember, practice makes perfect!
With determination and perseverance, your Sim can overcome their Fear of Horses and forge a deep and rewarding bond with these magnificent creatures.
Happy Simming!
