I have a 9 year old Appaloosa gelding who is basically bomb-proof, but whenever I try to ride him out of the arena (on trails), he wanders around with his ears pricked, smelling the air and trying to eat grass; completely ignoring my commands. He usually bolts at least once and he gets so worked up, I usually end up putting him back in his pasture(cause by that time, I'M freaked out!) I've been told by his previous owners that he is an great trail horse, and they've ridden him on roads too. I've only had him for a year, but I can't seem to solve this problem. I REALLY want to do some hacking with him, please help.
