I'm writing a piece about 'Pyscology in Young Horses', however i'm a bit stuck. I've written my piece about pyscology in horses, however I'm a bit stumped on how I can relate it to a young horse. Any ideas?

There is an entire academic field, a sub-set of Zoology, called Ethology, which is the science of animal behaviour. It can be argued that animals do not have a psyche, but rather have mainly genetically determined behaviours. I suggest that you focus on researching " horse behaviour" rather than horse psychology & you might have more luck.

You could write it in relation to young horses that are weaned too early, what are the psychological effects? Or ditto foals that are hand reared as opposed to those that are naturally reared with their dam in a herd?
