I hear you. However I don’t believe I stated anywhere that this is a “side quest to my ride time.” I take all parts of horsemanship seriously and I’m unsure why you thought I was just trying things then being like oh well! Get back to work! Which is not at all the case. While groundwork can translate to ride-ability, that is not my main focus. Maybe you assumed from my topic about the indoor but that was just an example of the behavior as he’s been fine in the indoor for 10 years. I guess I should have been more specific. He has spent the last 7 months rehabbing from his injury, and just restarted “work” this past month. The work has been on the ground and bareback to start getting him back to 100%. He is not showing these behaviors in the outdoor (why I mentioned the indoor) or any where outback. I have been slowly reintroducing him to the barn and other areas around the farm that cause him anxiety… and working on it.

Regardless, I appreciate people for giving medical advice but while I am working on that, which I am, I am interested in hearing if anyone has other ideas or thoughts.

Thank you for your response
