I’ve had my lovely horse just over 6 months having bought him from a dealer. The dealer was very honest and said he’d been sold back to her twice due to mounting block issues.
This wasn’t a problem to begin with, however I soon became aware that when he becomes anxious, the minute you get on him he bolts and bronks. I immediately had everything checked, back, saddle, teeth, every last thing. However everything is clear and fine.
I think it is a behavioural thing and that he gets himself so frightened and worked up. He’s such a gentle giant in every other way and it’s only when there’s something slightly different or when he goes to a new place that he will do this when I get on.
I’ve tried everything And I really don’t want to give up on him as he doesn’t deserve to be passed from dealer to dealer as he has a heart of gold.
it’s now becoming dangerous and I broke 2 ribs from him today and it’s finally starting to knock my confidence.
Does anyone have any suggestions that could possibly help or have had similar problem horses?
Thank you
