           If it was only happening to the OP then I would assume   
           he/she was more to blame than the horse and a good   
           assertive butt kicking would solve the problem.   
      
           I was hesitant to suggest carrying a whip because I   
           had such a bad experience with a horse who went psycho   
           on me because of the whip.   
      
           That might work if the OP is "sure" the horse respects   
            the whip.   
      
           Not all do.   
      
           I just don't think we know enough about the situation!
