Horse throwing tantrums- how to deal with it?

[Kokopelli]

We're all completely miffed about physical issues as pretty much everything has been checked apart from things like tumours but I had a horse with a brain tumour once and he really didn't behave like this. He was either catatonic or really aggressive.

I can totally understand how pts could be a good option, I'd hate for him to fall into the wrong hands as would the owner. I think the owner and me are going to have to talk and thing long and hard whether it is worth or safe keeping him going.

Have you checked his teeth and back? I have a 15.2hh 6yrs dressage horse (Affiliated Medium) who used to chuck his toys out of the pram on the lunge. He is an absolute angel to ride though. ;-0

nationaldressagepony, I'm not sure why you keep pulling up old threads? This thread was started in 2012 so I doubt the OP is still having the same problem :/

He sounds exactly like my 4yr old mare, I tried her on Coligone, within 5days of the liquid she was a different horse, has since been on the powder for 4/5 weeks, and not had any naughy behaviour since. It could be fluke, but im sticking with it. I cant believe a supplement could change a horse so much, she was awful on the ground, biting, swishing her tail etc, and to ride when you asked her to do something she didnt want she would stop dead and bronc, rear and have a tantrum.
