She does indeed! I reminded myself of one of my horses actually - my mare used to be very nervous around lots of things, and I'd have to lead her past stuff on a long line, so when she panicked and pulled away, I could still keep hold of her by letting out a few lengths of rope. She'd jig about but not break away completely. Then she gradually started to trust me, and stopped freaking out and pulling away from me, and if she gets scared (rare, nowadays) I talk to her and scratch her neck and she believes me when I tell her it'll be okay I hope I go the same way!
