I really rate my Osteo. He first felt G horse all over without doing anything to him, and then asked to see him walked up in hand with circles on both reins and also trotting up. Then took him back into a stable and did some manipulation explaining exactly what he was doing and why. He then did some "relaxation" techniques on him, before doing some stretchs and seeing him walk up in hand again. The whole thing took about an hour, and he was really good with g who is normally a bit nervy. I think he would have died of fear if someone had done what you describe to him!!
Also add, mine was under strict instructions not to be ridden for the next week except being hacked in straight lines....
