hey there, I hope someone can help me, my mare is in a herd with 5 other horses and she has been in this pasture for AGES, dealing with new horses coming in the herd and old horses going out. Recently the herd has shifted around, a few new horses have come in, but my mare has been perfect with it all, lately though this one gelding has been acting emensly aggresive towards my mare. He has charged at her bitten her, chased her away from the rest of the herd, and only just at the begining of the year, a horse was killed by this one chestnut, there was feed invovled, but the horse that was killed ended up having a broken shoulder bone in two places. Im very very worried about my mare, she is my best friend, this chestnut horse I've witnessed him acting purely threatening to her, he is for sale but wont hurry up and sell, we have suggested he be separted, but no one is really listening....please help, maybe just give me some proof that this horse is dangerous with others, I just want my mare to be safe... and I COULD take HER out of the herd, but she was there before this chestnut....and its the only place I can aggist at the moment...PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!!

Hello, I have 2 lovely gelding ponies who are best mates and live together happily in a 15 acre paddock. Two weeks ago I introduced an 18yr old, 15hh mare(rescued from the doggers)and at first had them seperated but as they got to know each other over the fence I decided to put them all in together. Now I find the mare is constantly "flirting"with the younger, smaller pony (10hh) and that he is displaying stallion behavior to the point of trying his best to mount her. I have seperated them again but Im wondering if they can ever be in the same paddock or will this only be a seasonal problem? The mare enjoys company and is longing to be reunited. Can you please advise?

Some horses are just naturally more aggressive than others regardless if there is enough food available in a pasture setting or not. I am trading a TB gelding for a more herd passive horse to keep my Arab gelding from being constantly bullied. The first couple of weeks they were together it was fine, then the TB attacked my Arab for no reason, slashing his hind quarters. The TB is a very sweet, sane horse, with people.

Greetings, I am having a problem getting a very aggressive horse (in a pasture setting) to accept my Arab gelding. The last time we tried putting him in the pasture, he got so frightened by "the bully" that he went through a barbed wire fence to get away. Does anyone know anything about how to somehow change the herd dynamics? Hoping someone can help... jr

oh, poor horses... How much of them are gelded automatically... Castration is something like death, gelding is half-horse... How can I help my gelding to became a stallion? This is something, what really bother him.
