I have a 3 1/2 year old spotted saddle gelding. I have had him approx. 1 year. This is my first horse, I am 53 and decided I wanted to train it myself. He has been doing great until this last weekend. My wife and I both ride together as well as with others. This past weekend there were 4 of us riding. My horse has always enjoyed leading so I have let him, thinking this would help his confidence. Well I decided to make him go to the back and hold him up while the others rode ahead. This turned into a spastic buck and bronc ride. I tried this on several occasions on this day and each time the same result. He became so nervous being held back and just wanted to throw me and get back to my wifes horse and the rest of the pack. I would spin him in circles to disengage him and then hold him in a lateral flex until he would calm down enough to continue but he would still be nervous until he could catch back up to the pack. Is this just going to take time or does anyone have a helpful hint. I did not come off but am afraid at some point it might happen. Thanks. Mark
