Thank you for all these suggestions. I absolutely adore this horse but always swing between excepting his quirky behaviour and feeling terribly guilty that perhaps there is something wrong and I just can't work out what. I wouldn't call him dangerous but you definitely need to be competent...

Yes he has had blood and allergy tests as well as being scoped. I do honestly believe it is behaviour issues as do the vets that have seen him. I do agree that perhaps exercise distracts him and as mentioned, he loves to work and is very willing to please. He also really loves being on the...

This is my first time posting, I am absolutely desperate for any ideas/support with what to do about my horses behaviour. He has always had very random behaviour in the stable, when tied up and also in the field (so basically everywhere!) This includes rearing, bucking, charging at the door (in...
