He got so aggressive with him that you could actually see that he’d completely stop thinking about anything other than getting that young gelding. To this day I don’t know what caused it but after one incident we kept them separate for a year and then reintroduced them. He was fine for months even cuddling and grooming the young gelding and then one day he snapped again. Really the weirdest thing since he was always turned out with large herds and was a calm, respectful, leader Horse that was really a sweetheart Piccoloponyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08275679567725425281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-81771032425066514452018-02-05T14:23:56.446-05:002018-02-05T14:23:56.446-05:00ugh Remus is very good at turnout BUT BUT BUT he h...ugh Remus is very good at turnout BUT BUT BUT he has been a jerk with different horses before. I am a bit nervous because he and Sterling had a mare out with him this summer and she was Queen Bee and all went well. She left and now they have another mare coming in and my barn owner is like OH we will put her with Remus and Sterling and I warned: Remus will think the mare is his if she is not ballsy enough to keep him away. Also I hate mare/gelding turnout. BUT that will be her issue to keep up with it all. SIGH. I hate herd dynamics sometimes. I hope Conner gets his panties out of that twist (His expression is like, me bad NAWWW) He is still the cutest...Martidollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02615603986854526853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-20901442565220163492018-02-05T13:20:51.772-05:002018-02-05T13:20:51.772-05:00Candy recently went through something similar; she...Candy recently went through something similar; she's always been turned out with Gina and Moe in my big front pasture during the day and brought into the smaller paddock adjacent to the barn with them at night. A couple of weeks ago, I went out to catch her to ride her and ended up spending two hours trying to round them up! Every time I would get close, she would take off and chase Gina until Gina went with her. A few days after that, I took Gina out to groom her and Candy spent an hour galloping along the fenceline screaming. <br /><br />I was mostly concerned for pregnant Gina, so I started keeping Candy in the barn paddock during the day. She's in there by herself, but there are horses in a paddock next to her and right behind her, so like you, I don't feel THAT bad.<br /><br />Good luck with Connor!

Definitely a complicated situation :( you want them to be able to be horses, but you don't want anyone getting hurt.

He starts acting like his gelding-bro is actually a mare and it's like he's claiming him. Lots of pinning horses into corners, kicking, etc. And it's definitely not playing - he seems to seriously want to inflict some damage.Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04862898176284766826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-63545682096783507592018-02-05T09:01:55.367-05:002018-02-05T09:01:55.367-05:00Actually aggressive :( I was told he was going af...Actually aggressive :( I was told he was going after them hard with ears pinned, and was genuinely at risk of either running the other horses through the fence or someone doing a tendon running in the mud.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292565760924146966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-26860380779680042982018-02-05T08:59:13.340-05:002018-02-05T08:59:13.340-05:00Is he truly being aggressive or just playing hard?...Is he truly being aggressive or just playing hard? The boys have always played hard. Destroying things and ripping stuff up is definitely a boy thing, as are mild bite marks on the neck.
