Hard to help someone on a computer. I'd like her to get some
one-on-one help with him. At least right now.

FWIW

Thanks FH, I went back and read my post and.. well.. it made sense when I was typing it???? LoL
Take care

He gets bored, confused, or sour all of which lead towards a horse learning to resist and argue rather than look to you as a leader.

Good point, Bruce. I've seen it happen.

And the hock deal, lots of horses in the south have that problem
at 4-6 years of age and they wind up having to inject them to
use them in competition.

I realize that, I guess what I'm trying to say is that masking his attitude by making him tired is just that... temporarily masking what's still there. You gotta get his respect and be the boss, and there are hundreds of ways of doing that without just piling on and hoping for the best. Just do some research and find something you like and try it. There is a trainer I know named Doug Mills that has a video series on a method he calls Training Thru Trust. He is far from a 'horse whisperer', but is among the best horse trainers in N. America. You can check him out here www.trainingthrutrust.com
At any rate, take your time and be careful.

Looks like Doug Mills might be a hackamore man, Silver.
Not many of them left; it's kind of a lost art.

I'm gonna read more later. Thanks for the link.
