I had a bad accident with my horse that required 20 stitches in my head and, 
according to the helpful ER doctor, would have probably killed me had the 
circumstances been just a little different.  It took a year to get over 
this.  In the end I solicited the help of an awesome, no-nonsense trainer 
who made me get on my horse and start working with him, ignoring my futile 
pleas of fear.  Now, several years later, we work together so well I can 
hardly imagine what it was like to be afraid to work with him.

Long story short, be patient and stick with it.  :)
