I have an ex racer and he was terrible in his younger years for this, I just could not hack him out in company at all for years, suddenly when he turned about 9 he calmed down a lot and I was finally able to hack him out with another very quiet mare.
I think if galloping about with lots of horses he would still be a nightmare though and he is 13 now.
However much I tried when he was younger he was just down right dangerous in a group and I had no control what so ever, he would even do stupid things like go cantering and spinning about in the middle of the road. When down the tracks all he wanted to do was go go go and of course I can't go galloping like a loony down steep hills etc. so this made him even worse.
Mine was an absolute *** during his teenage years though.
