New pony points his bum at me...

[ahlam1399]

Just got my new pony home on Tuesday. Got a few problems... When I tried him (saw him 3 times before deciding to buy) he was good as gold, a really safe boy. He is 18, but still has some go in him though he is unfit due to lack of rider recently. Since I got him home, he has been a bit quirky. He has bad manners, he swings around a lot and points his bum at you when he?s tied up and in his stable, and moves and pulls his head a lot. No matter where you go, he will move to point his bum at you. As a novice, this is disconcerting as I?m worried he will kick, though doesn?t seem like he will. I asked the person I bought him from who says it?s because he wants his bum scratched, but I think it?s just bad manners. He also swings round to point his bum at the horses in the stables near where he?s tied. It?s also been very difficult to get hold of his head, he will swing around and try to avoid you putting his head collar on, swings his head up when you go to give him a rub on the nose. I?ve walked him in traffic, good as gold, also walked him round the ménage, perfect there too. Worried this will be a pony whose bad habits are too ingrained in him for a novice first time owner to rectify...
