I am 35 and can still remember falling off the back of a white horse when I was 4.
My mother placed me on the back of a white horse to have a picture taken. She turned to discuss something, took her hands off my side. The horse took a step forward and I slid off the back and hit the ground. I can still remember it. Apparently traumatizing events register regardless of age.
My wife is still terrified of spiders due to an event with her mother and a spider from when she was 5.
I still to this day have a fear of of falling/heights.
