Have you talked to the vet about this problem?  If the vet advised you to 
give the Corn Oil then make sure you know why X is supposed to get it.

Well, he *is* an Arab.  Stands to reason that he would get keyed up about 
things easier than a more cold-blooded horse (like Mike May's Fjord Malla, to 
pick an extreme example).  No slander against Arabs intended here -- I think 
they are super horses -- but as a fellow hot-blooded creature, I have to come 
to X's defense.
