Hi What you have said is true, and alot has been taking place, since I wrote that subject. I did get help from a professional trainer, who has continually took him for walks around the grounds, pasture to stall, etc. When he would get pushy, she then used a lead rope with a chain, putting the chain under his chin, and showing who is boss. Wow, he started rethinking! Now I am practicing this, as she had said, and as of right now he is not needing any chain on a lead rope. just a plain rope. I did however order a lead rope with an 18" chain just to have one of my own, and I will use that in the future, so that if there would be any test, I will have that chain if needed(hoping I won;t). Also, I now have someone on a free lease, who is also working with him, besides myself, and lessons from the trainer, who works with both of us, and my horse. Also he is now getting ridden more, between us both, and geting more ground work also. He has been getting ridden now at a nice smooth trot on a loose rein! He needed more attention, and work given to him. I do not go to his pasture with treats, as I want him to come to me on his own, not just for treats. He gets his treats in his feed dish at nights, in his stall, and sometimes a treat during or after a workout. He is sometimes put back in his stall after a workout, being the only horse in the barn, so as not to learn buddy sour. Sometimes he is put back out to pasture also. We try to change his schedule, so he dosen't just think repetition one way. When I leave the barn, if he is outside, he will follow my car, walking up his pasture to the road, while I drive toward the road, and stand there and watch me leave! He is also pawing his front leg less, because he was impatient at times, so that is an improvement also. We found his saddle fits good, just think his lack of work and attention, was making him have excess energy, and he wasn't being taught enough steady manners. So all in all, I hope that we now have a much more behaved horse, as we continue to spend this time with him. You were really right on.Thankyou.

well what do ya know?    Sounds like you're on the right track and that he now has more of an outlet for his energy.  Good job.

Thankyou! I am glad I asked for help, and didn't give up. I really love my horse, and really want our relationship to work out and have trust and respect. I hope we keep going in the right direction. Just bought an english all purpose saddle, and he is doing quite well in that now. Thankyou again.

 You need to take leadership over your horse.  Your horse thinks that HE is the boss of You!  and why shouldn't he be?  he is bigger, stronger, and faster than you and you pose no real threat to him.  In fact it seems as though he feels like he doesn't have any real big threats to him and isn't afraid of much at all!  

This attitude can make a great bold horse if harnessed correctly, but with a horse of this personality type you need to learn to be more firm!  It also looks like since it has gone this far and he is now becoming dangerously disrespectful (charging you into a fence) you might need to be more than a "little" firm.  I'm not talking about horse abuse! I love on my horses more than you can imagine! but a horse is a big animal and YOUR life is more important than always being uber nice to your horse.  all of my horses whinny to me when I come outside, follow me around the property, and know that I am their buddy, but they all are completely aware that if they disrespect me or threaten my health or welfare that they will get a little royal butt-kickin!  The level of but kickin depends on the horse in question and his/her sensitivity and responsiveness.  You might start with a verbal reprimand and work your way up to a stick or whip if needed. Horses are herd animals.  They constantly have a pecking order.  There is no such thing as an "equal" relationship in the horse world.  YOU NEED TO BE THE BOSS and have the respect of your horse.  Can you imagine what say Clinton Anderson, Chris Cox, Craig Cameron, or quite frankly even Pat Parelli would do if their horse ran them into a fence and got loose?  If you are having a hard time disciplining your horse in a way that is safe and demands his respect then you should get some lessons from a qualified instructor.  Often trainers who do a lot of work with young colts are really good in this area as well.
