 their horse spooks (if it does) to notice if different critters cause

I actually am having a time with a young horse that I am gearing up for 
endurance... He is terrified of cows and paint horses. Neither makes sense 
since he has seen cows all his life and was pastured with a pinto mare for 
awhile but when we are out on the trail he comes unglued at the sight of 
them. Any thing else is ok just cows and paints are monsters. The only time I 
have come off of him is when he jumped out from underneath me when he caught 
sight of a big pinto gelding in a pasture at a distance.... I fear the day we 
come across a spotted cow..........
