Location: Where the pavement ends and the West begins Utah		Have you had this horse to a chiropractor? I broke a mare that would flip at the slightest touch of the halter her poll and tmj was out. The vet worked on her and she quit. The other thing is take him to a round pen with just a halter on and get him respectful of you Use a lunge Line make him lunge to the left and the the right at a circle the cut that circle in half so he is just going left and right in front of you then ask for a stop and don't let him come to you.walk up to him and ask for a back up all the way around the pen. Repeat this until you have his full attention and feel you trust him to respect you. It won't happen over night just going to take some work.

Location: Alberta		 I agree with a good chiropractor! Horses with compromised atlas/axis, causes pinched nerves and reduced blood flow that can affect eye sight. Best of luck, my 5 year old can get really tied up in his poll and needs regular Chiro work....
