I wouldn't touch him with a 10-foot pole!  There have to be other good horse 
out there that don't come with a built-in problem from the beginning. This 
one could be a dangerous problem.  Imagine if he did this on the edge of a 
cliff.  Or in the middle of a road with traffic around.  Then what?

Nearly 50 years ago we had a young horse that had a similar problem, only he 
would stop, look glassy-eyed, jaw would clench, knees would buckle, and he 
would go down right out from under my husband.  We sent him off to the 
auction yard without so much as a backward glance.
