Eric Berry will never ride a horse-drawn carriage or even pet a pony. Heck, you won't even see this guy horsing around. 

That's because the Kansas City Chiefs' safety has a very real fear of horses. 

Hat tip to Kissing Suzy Kolber (via Deadspin) who spotted this video originally aired by Inside the NFL last week. 

It features the Kansas City Chiefs in a game against the Oakland Raiders. The best part comes at the beginning when Berry goes out of his way to stay clear of a horse that has just run onto the field. 

Apparently, the man suffers from a bad case of equinophobia. 

We have seen similar situations before. When talkshow host Maury Povich isn't saving the world one paternity test at a time, he is unveiling some rather strange phobias, like this video of a young woman who's afraid of cotton. 

It would be easy to make fun of a big, bad NFL player who is afraid of such a graceful animal. Then again, we all have our irrational fears. 

For me, it's a fear of spiders, heights and anyone named Van Gundy. I'm not sure what triggered it, but any mention or sight of the Van Gundy brothers sends me into a panic attack. 

Don't worry, Mr. Berry—we all have our little things. It's just that yours is a little funnier than others.
