My current obsessions include: colic, founder, accidental poisoning, casting, lightening storms, equipment failure (specifically the fence), and over/underfeeding.

How about thinking about the fact that ALL of those things could happen at a boarding barn - but no one will care about your horses' health and well-being as much as you do. You'll get more comfortable with it. And, for the record, horses are MUCH, MUCH easier than human babies (or children, for that matter!).
