This one ended up being quite recoverable.

One of my horses had a bad experience with her previous owner involving sticks
and would sometimes freak out if she saw somebody holding something resembling
a stick (such as, say, a shovel or a pitchfork). She got past that, mostly, and
now the problem I have is she wants to grab my long-handled tools because
sticks are now fun :-(
