Location: Alberta		 Have you ever had him looked at by a chiropractor. One aspect I've learned (from my chiro) is that subluxation can cause not only pinched nerves but also reduced blood flow to the horses brain which can affect eye sight (same idea as people who get migraines) .

I have a crackhead in my barn too!! Actually I swear this horse hides crack in his stall LOL! I believe it has something to do with that busy cow horse brain of his, if he is working he is a wonderful horse if hes on the ground or on auto pilot when riding he will find something to spook at etc. He can spook at anything and everything if not kept busy, my breathing, grass, rocks, air, monsters and ghosts etc. When he gets to acting spooky I immediately start trotting him and making him work ( trot safe enough to handle spooks) and within 10 mins hes over being spooky but I keep on trotting I figure if he has all that energy to act like a crack head then Im gonna put it to good use!
I have talked to a trainer about it and he said some horses are just spooky, just in their personality. YOU can learn how to handle their spooks and help them out with it but they will probably always be spooky. My guy when i first got him would bolt when he spooked or buck hard or run 10 feet to the left or right, now its just a spook in place and i laugh and we keep on rolling. Is he over his spooks yet...heck no but sure is better because I learned how to deal with them and laugh it off. PUT THEM TO WORK :)
