This message is from: Erin Yanish <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Horses are funny sometimes. We had a gelding (Mo) that would match his pasture buddies. If he was with the weanlings he was playful and gentle. When he was with the stallion he would bully right back. When we had a horse that might be a little more aggressive than we liked we would put them in with Mo and he would teach them manners. He was a great horse for this. We would even lend him to others for this purpose and the pastures were back to friendly. Sometimes it just takes a horse a quick reminder that they are not the toughest thing on hooves by another hoofed animal. I do not recommend putting your boy in danger, but maybe locate a tough mare that will remind him how hierarchy works. Erin

He kicks the other horses violently and charges at them in order to be first one at the gate. He is aggressive to the other gelding and also controlling with the mares. I'm going to have to isolate him for the safety of the other horses. Does anyone have any other suggestions or has dealt with the problem in the past? Thank you.
