I'd
say this horse is bored to death going around and around and around and around.
You get the picture? He's probably barn sour ta boot and is spooking in an
attempt to discourage the rider handler so he can go back home. Why the heck
would he want to go around and around and around.
He
needs a change in routine, be taken somewhere else to be ridden and be ridden by
an assertive rider who won't be intimidated by his manipulating. But don't bore
him to death!

What is this horse being fed? I discovered early
on that feeding Malik sweet feed would turn him into a blithering idiot
and he would spook at ANYTHING when I rode him...since he did not normally do
that with me and the only thing I had changed at the time was an increase in
sweet feed (ran out of something and decided to make it up with a couple of
extra pounds of the stuff), I surmised the change/increase in feed was the
culprit. I took him OFF the sweet feed and he was fine after that.
Doesn't mean he never spooks just that the spooks on the extra sweet feed were
especially extra sensitive and out of character for him. Just a thought
to consider...
