I have a gelding who all of a sudden became scared of the wind and the noise it makes. I have put up a tarp in the barn and added a wind chime. What are some other ideas on helping him get over this?!?

Sudden personality changes can indicate EPM. Has anything else changed? Environment, feed, pasture mates, etc? Any coyotes, bobcats, etc in your area?

No everything is the same. He's always been alittle goofy about things but never this bad.

I agree with Murphy, I would get him tested and then go from there.

 How long have you had him and how long has he been on the feed he's been on?

I third the EPM testing.  My gelding was very flighty when I bought him... treated for EPM and changed his diet and he's mellowed out tremendously!
