I think maybe the trainer didn’t do much training.We came to that conclusion a few weeks ago. Him being a stud for so long, probably doesn't help either. I would not feel safe getting on him now, after the rodeo I saw. Poor Tammy had just got on and was not even settled in yet.
I don't think his being kept a stud would be the cause of this - I think very poor training. We had a gelding that had been a breeding stud for 14yrs before gelding - he was an angel. Prez was a breeding stud until 4yrs and you know how much Bob thinks of him.
I think Bodie's problem is someone needs to hang a spur in him.
