[RC] Horses that hate conditioning - WRSINOSKY

No, it's not just a mare thing.  My half arab will do this sometimes, and he's usually the one I need a seatbelt to stay on.  We'll go out somedays and it's a huge effort for him to put one foot in front of the other, then we'll turn toward home and he acts like he just was turned loose from a tie stall.  He leaps and bucks and tries to run off with me (sometimes succeeding).  Of course, Doimas is a bit unusual.  I've even considered taking a baseball bat with me just to get his attention.  This boy has never taken me seriously since the day he was born.  Can you tell I'm a little frustrated with him?  Just a LITTLE?
