Hi everyone! I need some advice concerning my 13 year old TB. Well, I had bought him last spring as a riding horse for myself. (His owner said that he can w/t/c and jump 2' 6"). Before I bought him, I rode him a couple times and he was fine. Once I purchased him, and brought him home, I rode him a few times in the ring, and he began to be skittish. I took him out of the ring one day, and he bolted and bucked and I fell off and sprained my back. After I recooped, I got back on him, but he continued to spook at everything and be very skittish. He was not at all like that when I was looking to buy him, which makes me believe that they had him doped up. I have talked to a few horse people and they said that they can remember this horse from several years ago, when he was at another farm and they said that he spooked and bolted all the time, and thats why his owner had sold him. A few friends have ridden him, and he does the same thing to them. I have no clue what to do with him. If there was some way that I could get him to stop spooking and bucking when I ride him, I would definately do it. But since he is 13 and has done this his whole life, I dont know if he can change. He also spooks when being lounged and walked by a lead. So if you guys could give me advice on what I could prolly do, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
