Some food for thought: his breed naturally has a fairly high head carriage, so high headed does not necessarily equal scared. Also, given the way his neck muscling looks, he may well have bolted because of physical discomfort (or a combination of physical discomfort and its resulting mental tension making the horse more apt to spook).
If you can find a good equine massage person, he would REALLY benefit from it, and then do whatever groundwork you can to get him to lower his head and relax. Don't do anything in the ring that results in him putting his head up in a tense or pulling kind of way. Once you can get his physical problems fixed I am pretty positive he will turn out to be not a spooky horse at all (his breed isn't).
Good luck, but please realize that you may have your work cut out for you because he sure does look like he's in a lot of physical discomfort,

I whole heartedly agree with everything Pat said. However I must add that any farrier that said those feet were in good shape needs to go back to school.
If I had to put money on it I would bet feet are causing this horse pain. The heels are very underrun looking. Your trimmer is not quality at all. I honestly think before I started with a massage therapist I would get those feet straightend out then move on to MT.
www.ironfreehoof.com Look at some of the pictures there of what hooves should look like. Wrong angles are going to cause pain, which causes high head carriage which causes improper muscling.
Maybe you should consider visiting some horse forums. They will help you greatly with overall opinions and I assure you they would agree it's feet needs help. The quote "No Hoof, No HOrse" comes to mind.
I am speaking from experience here not just to here my fingers hit the keys.
