Sounds like your boy just hit his away from home threshold. My friends mare did something like that too, but we were on a 3 day/2 night stay at a friends house for a show and a poker ride the next day. She was pacing in the paddock and looking a very nervous by the end of the 3rd day, and she was a PIA in my trailer on the way home. She just reached her "away from her buddies" threshold that weekend, but was fine the next weekend at the same place for a 1 night stay. She just needs mileage, sounds like your boy may need some too.


I think drugging a horse for showing is wrong. If a horse can't handle being at a show (greenies excluded for lack of mileage) it needs a new job.
