My horse has just been herded in like this today! Couldn't get a head collar on with it being so sore! Again, no buttercups or anything, grass and hawthorn hedges. The two others he is grazing with, both have pink noses like him are fine! Any idea what it is yet?

Hi, I cant leave a headcollar on because it always rubs him, even when ive spent hours lining them. He can get them off too so its pointless. I have no idea what he considers fun. He likes to go hunting but i cant do that often as its too expensive. Herding him works but its not always...

a kimblewick or a pelham is designed to lower the head. if you want lift but only when you need it try a cheltenham gag with 2 reins, or a dutch gag but with one rein on snaffle and another rein on another ring. that way you can say Hay.. listen and shock him. no point going stonger altogeater...

ive tried walking away every time he comes to me! hes happy with that. Cannot take it any further. I know he has had a bad time in the past, he has a scar where a headcollar had been left on and also a scar on his right shoulder. he is a nervous animal i know this but after 4 years of nothing...

If i throw the treats he runs away from them! or even roll them towards him. hes as stubborn as and he will only get to them if i step back away from him. i once worked him really hard everyday and he would let me catch him but in winter, i dont have the time to as i have another horse and ride...

pony nuts, pears, apples, carrots, mints. u name it ive tried it. he has a 20 foot rule. i can not get within that distance of him. sometimes i can get arms length but this is rare! thinking of tethering him or hobbles!

well, this doesnt sound good!

Well, this horse is very close to getting sent on a one way trip to the vets or a lifetime in a stable! tried natural horsermanship, small fields (which he simply jumps out of), no water, no grass, no rug in sub zero temps, too heavy a rug in summer! going into the field and waiting....12hrs...
