 I started this gelding as a 5 yrold...very athletic...but spooked at the barrels from the beginning..was horrible..has gotten better...2 and 3 barrels are beautiful..have been runnin him a year now...but he still spooks at the 1st!! Not bad but enuf too loose time....any suggestions would be great, it may just take him time but maybe someone has a suggestion..thanks!  I've had barrels everywhere, his stall, I've rolled them around him, everything..lol

Idk about vision issues if hes fine in other aspects of life..maybe I guess. I do think they get there reactions from habit and their riders reactions and anticipations. Something to think about...

Have you tried running the other barrel first? does he still spook at it? or does he spook at the 2cd and 3rd?
