He is not a kicker and doesnt seem to spook very much.
heres the main 5 problems right now.
Problem 1 Cant catch him.
Problem 2 Nervous of people
Problem 3 Terrifed when attemtping to get on him
Problem 4 When you ride him he justs wants to run and wont walk?
Problem 5 When you try to get him to trot he canters off and we cant stop him.
Actually cut my hand on a leading rope yestarday i after i typed this intial post, dragged me along, clinging to rope.
Have to lean him to a wall or fence to ry stop him.
Even on a lunge rope, he wont slow down but is happy to speed up?
His names Bounty
Thanks again

Thats cool, he is in a field with 2 other horses but stands alone.
He is not really a very social horse to say the least!
He had to be gelded at some stage because Stallions are mad in my opinion!
Unless considering breeding, but we certainly are not vet bills are expensive for 1 let alone 2!
He was gelded in the hope it would calm him down a bit yes, i will be honest with you,
I thought that was common practise amongst race horses, ie to help horses calm and be more consisitent?
Yes thats correct, friend sof ours have actually been given a couple of x race horses from there for free. When they have small injuries they often palm them off so to speak…
My friends horse was told she would be unable to ride him for at least 3 years, now 1 year later the horse is fine! A nice result.
Thanks for warm welcome anyways!

actually yes! he has scar around the face and also a big scar on side of his belly.
He was mistreated in the past and we actually got him for free, as no one wanted to take him on due to his temperement, despite his good breeding… We were hoping gelding might tame him a little!
Suprisingly he is very good at jumping, and we are considering if we can calm him down more, trying to train him or getting a proffesional trainer in if its not to expensive!
Thanks for your advise above,
Regards
Kevo…
