Problem horse or a horse with problems?

Well considering that naturally a horses life consists basically of eating and ensuring continuity of the species (food and sex!!), where's the problem!
It's when horses come into contact with humans and are expected to live to a whole new set of rules that they can develop problems. I believe this answers the question above. If we look at it as a horse with problems, rather than a problem horse, we can then put our minds to helping the horse through what he is finding difficult, instead of simply blaming him for being 'stupid' 'stubborn' or taking the mickey.

By looking at things from the horses point of view and being fair and consistent when handling them, the horse human partnership can be very successful.
