Shaun was starved when he arrived at the kill pen. Food is a big issue. Me protecting him while he eats is a big deal. He gets to eat without being hasseled, he gets a place at the round bale, and no hassel...it went a long way with him. Boundaries, very big. He comes off very aggressive, and pushy. He is, but he's so happy to find another way. Glad this "bi polar" horse is so far away. I've learned, I like my horses trained, calm, and easy. Just like I like my men!

Yes I have changed my mind about this horse’s problems too after seeing the second video.
Isn’t it interesting how a picture is worth a thousand words & saves arriving at the wrong conclusion! 
Lack of socializing regarding food is all the issue is here. That & just plain bored, bored, bored. A good NH home will solve all his problems quickly. If that is possible get him there in double quick time. He would make an excellent project for someone who already has the basics of the psychology under their belt & wants to fully explore WHR & similar.
Did you see in the second video how the horse succeeded at driving the lady away from his hay even though she was waving her stick around. If she was too take a step towards him & hold her ground waving her stick until he backed off a step it would have made all the difference.

I totally agree this horse is 100% Saddlebred. I'll bet way more than $1 on that.
Doesn't matter what he is of course, he needs someone to literally tame him as I see it and get him around to the concept that people are cool but not to be shoved around. I think there are a lot of good trainers that could get him working pretty quick.
Such a shame to think what has happened along the line to get him this way. |

Having just attended another Buck Brannaman clinic, I can't help but think what would he do in this scenario. He clearly stated he does not, under any circumstances accept a poor expression on a horse whilst in his presence. He discussed a situation regarding walking into a pen with a group of horses that, when he shows up (lead horse), the horses had better pay attention and be it polite attention, or he is gonna go over there, and that horse pulling the face, had better change his disposition, or not be there when he gets there, and have left with a smile, or he will regret it

Kylie, Buck also has the skills to do that without beating the horse. 99% of horse owners (and definitely this one) do not. They would just turn the horse into a people-fearing outlaw.
Jodi, what is going on with the horse?

I havent talked to her since last weekend but last I knew she had given the horse to a "trainer" and apparently the trainer brought him back and dumped him back in her pasture when no one was home because he was "mean as a rattle snake".  Ballzy ... huh?
She contacted me last weekend and told me that the horse was still owned by the first lady and the black man (in the video) had no right to sell him to her. So the lady that technically owns him lives in Texas and she was trying to get someone to come pick him up last weekend.
Not sure that happened or not. I am curious as to what happened too so I will try to find out this weekend what is going on.

None of that sounds very good at all especially for the horse.
