None of that behavior would I ever put up in any of my horses.
Sounds dangerous.....They would be clicker trained immediatley to
keep a safe distance when I go out there in the pasture. I clicker
train all my horse so I can go out in the herd with feed and not be
touched, or pushed. They all know to not push on me or threaten
other horses when I am around.....
This is a perfect example of why not to over handle foals in my
opinion......
