Buy a crop and spank that a**....
No really buy a crop or whip and when the horse tries to raise that leg to kick or paw, pop him below the hock or below the knee if he is pawing. We had one doing this and about 3 times he stopped! You have to mean business when you do this, not just a little love tap!

I got a Trailer Eyes camera unit for Christmas. At first I thought it was frivolous and not really useful. My horse was just standing there. Then we took husbands horse, who we discovered was doing a constant "dance" they whole time the trailer moved, and also that my innocent, do nothing wrong gelding, when not tied, would shift back, reach over the divider, and bite my husbands horse. The camera showed us where some issues were that we had no idea about otherwise. Might be something to consider, so you see when and why they are kicking or scrambling. Its now one of the best $300 we spent

Ditto that....an interior camera shows all "the warts" of a trailered horse...
