A friend of mine had the same problem with her Egyptian Arab...and tried all
the same tricks you have with no results. He's like a new horse now -- He
got a chiropractic adjustment, an equine sports massage, and had his feed
program totally changed. (no more sweet feed, more rolled oats) and although
he is still very competitive and wants to be in front, my friend no longer
fears he's going to hurt both of them in the process.
