Horseman Mark Langley uncovers the reasons behind different reactive behaviours in this episode, giving training strategies to help over come them. Specifically answering questions on horses that paw when tied up; a horse that can cow kick and buck before breaking free from the lead rope; an older horse who can go into flight mode; and a young horse being started that runs incessantly around the round pen.
