All that has been thoroughly investigated and reinvestigated, believe me.  
This horse also just throws himself to the ground when my friend is RIDING 
him -- not pretty!  If he doesn't get his way, he throws a tantrum which 
frequently ends up with both of them on the ground.   All in all he's a 
pretty bad boy -- but she loves him, so she puts up with his behaviors.  She 
even took him to a well-respected local professional to try and cure him -- 
no luck.
