Horse alone

[baran]

But often it has nothing to do with manners - just the situation that the horse finds itself in.

My previous horse had manners to burn - leave him out on his own and late and he turned himself inside out.

I agree that that becoming agitated when left alone is nothing to do with manners. But I have seen more than one person moaning that other liveries were unwilling to bring in/turn out their horse when the reason for this was the animal was a bad mannered lout which had never been taught to lead properly.

Fair comment. Not really ever come across it myself, but can imagine how it could be difficult.
