Yes. It is a behavior. Hunter gets "hot" any time he is with a larger group of horses, so I am working on having him stand quietly when we go out with the group on Saturdays. For him I think part of the problem is that at rides he eventually gets rewarded for his dancing around because the race starts and he gets to go. I suppose I should get off and just let the others take off and stand there with him. I suspect I'd have my hands full. Nancy
