A bit different to a 4 year old eventer. The safe beginners horses that have come on our yard have been exactly that, from day one.

Yes but with a new home comes new experiences, feed, management, communication. Fine if the horse has seen chickens before, can cope with course mix, doesnt mind being in for 16 hours a day instead of its previous 10 hours, and can understand a beginners instructions/handling. NOT saying this is the case here (with OP) but so many things can affect a horse that even if just one thing is changed tha the horse doesnt know about then it can change behaviour!
Maybe the OP has been ripped off but thats why if you are a novice you have help when you buy a horse and help when you get it home. That way any problems you come across can be supported by someone more experienced so you dont feel like giving up.
