[RC] cinchy horse - susan graham

I have a friend who recentlt purchased a 9 year old mare from an auction, the previous owner told him she was "cinchy." When ever he ties her up she starts to "park out" and act as though she has a bad stomach ache-shaking  and pawing. If she is held by another person there is less of that act. What can you do for a "cinchy" horse? Is there a girth to use thats better ? Where does this behavior come from?    Another issue is wood ticks-my horse is pasture boarded and she comes in with ticks in her mane, they  sometime leave sores and "crud" behind. Is there a shampoo or tick repellent I could use?
