I'm a little perplexed can some one please give me a little insight. I've moved my gelding to another boarding facility. He used to be on about an acre and a half. Now he is in a stall with a rather large run. He has begun spooking at things that never bothered him before. The feed hasn't changed but the environment has. He dumped me a couple of weeks ago and he jumped sideways so fast I was unable to prepare. Thank god the farmer had disc ed the field! Not a bad landing! Is he acting this way due to lack of being to be able to move around? I never had to lounge him before but I'm going to start now. He used to walk so slow others would leave me on the trail. Help! I'm getting a bit nervous to get on. Any feed back would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
