Hello, recently my horse has been uncharacteristically evil/mardy/naughty/rude/****-ish. In the morning my mum turns him out after i have gone to school and she does not fancy the idea of getting up a 6 to turnout in the cold and dark and of an afternoon he is brought in by a friend before it gets dark (favour for favour). But no one wants to touch him atm due to his rudeness and i cant be around to do it for them! he has been running of, rearing up(not massive but any rear is too high), trying his best to fly and spooking at nothing at all.
He is an almost 6yo TB, who after many injuries is finally 100% sound with only a few scars to show. So i think he is going through stroppy teenage stage. People have told me i need to lots of ground work with him in the Be-Nice halter, which i shall do and i will/do tell him off when he is naughty, but as i'm not handling him to and from the field I am a bit stuck as to what my short term answer is. Does any one have any experience of this?
(sorry if this made no sense i was rushing to get all the relevent stuff down before i forgot!)
Thank you very much,
