    I think most of horses 'bad manners' are the owners faults ...... maybe 
not the present owner -- could be previous owners -- OR, the horse could have 
been mistreated and it acts up in a self defense type thing.
    I DO know that a lot of TLC and a positive attitude does wonders for a 
horse -- even one who had a bad beginning ...
    I AM proud of X ...... he's very willing and does anything (within 
reason) that you ask him to do.
