My mum and I have a 18 month, 15hh, cob x gelding. He is a good lad but has recently become quite bolshy in the stable before he is turned out. As soon as I open the stable door he barges right out. He has no patience. I've tried making him back up in the stable so that I can get into his stable. It takes a while before he will listen and back up (he's not usually like this), but as soon as I attempt to get into the stable he rushes forward again. I've also tried holding a treat in my hand which makes him back up quicker but it makes no difference to his barging.
It is only when he is about to be turned out he is like this. He is the perfect gentlemen the rest of the time.
Any tips/advice on how to tackle this would be great. Thanks in advance for any replies.
