Use a rope halter for all interactions. When leading to the round pen- if he so much as starts to look away from you- quick snatch to get his attention back to you. He is not allowed to have wandering eyes, ears, face or body when you are present. Round pen to get him to face you and hook on/join up in center. If he doesn't pay attention to you- back to running. First time you might just want him to face you and quit moving. Each day he is not allowed to mis-step even once without a correction of some sort. You enforcing dominance in the round pen and while leading should carry over to your field interactions. If you don't have a round pen you can use a lunge line- just a bit more difficult. Also get him disengaging those hindquarters from the ground. You control his feet.

My suggestion would be to do a 5 panel test.  Two Eyed Jack is one that may possibly carry the gene for pssm.  If he is line bred to him, he may be positive.  If that is the case, rather than perpetuate genetic issues, geld.  I have raised three stallions at this point......actually my daughter has raised the last one and is training him.  This type of behavior would have landed any of the three at the vet and did land others there.  I have NO room at my house for a badly behaved horse of any gender. 

Your horse, your decision, but I don't see a good ending here.

we have a yearling who is dangerous in the pasture. he will soon be a nice gelding. there are too many stallions anyway.
