Probabaly a daft question, but have you had his teeth, back, and tack checked? A friend has a horse that is cold-backed and he does the same thing, only he will explode in spectacular style if she doesn't tack him up and then leave him alone for ten/fifteen minutes or so. He is a lovely horse, and amazing to ride, he just needs this small thing to be done his way. I have seen sort of heat lamps that are supposed to help with cold backed horses - we were going to get one if our bid on a yard had been succesfull. Another friend's horse won't work properly if his forelegs aren't brought forward after the girth is tightened.
