None because the Boy looks at you like youre trying to food poison him and spits it out everywhere :-( We did have a funny time with watermelon where i put some chunks in his feed bowl and he was scared of his bowl! And he also had my other half trying to feed apple (yes i know!!!) last night...

Thanks all. He was kept on his own but with others around in other fields but was separated by hedges etc. He was completely fine then. Unfortunately, he had to move and at the new place he had a companion, then she left, then he was put with another and then the girl got super friendly with...

Thank you. Not really what I wanted to hear but thought I was going to! It is really annoying as he only started when he moved to the other yard and there was lots around. With all the rain we have had as well he has just trashed the fence line too! Then when it gets muddy he just moves in a...

My 4 year old WB boy has started fence walking. He has mostly lived on his own and at his old yard he had hedges around and whilst he could see other horses he never bothered with them as there was the hedge between. He was on his own for the first 3 years of his life and was happy to be on...

when i saw that little ginger 3 month old face and then handed over a wad of notes! had to wait another 3 months til he came home though! I still have the two receipts saying "payment for bay colt". lol

how about horses that are already microchipped? can they get around that too?

I am so pleased I am vegetarian and luckily have been for about 15 years so hopefully never had horse! Though I did think twice before even having vegeburgers the other night as the thought made me feel sick!! I did note the other morning that a well known supermarket (dont know if i can...

My boy will be going here (hopefully not for a good few years yet though!!) http://www.petsandpeopletogetherforever.co.uk/horse-cemetery.htm

aww hes lovely! Dont listen to them, they are probs just jealous! how big is he out of interest? The only thing I would say he could probably do with a bit more muscle on his neck. then maybe his head would look a little more in proportion. but certainly a very nice horse and you should be...

So tell me how I "school" my horse to not look nicely at me when I go up to the stable, step back like he should as i walk in and then suddenly turn for a bite? no warning or anything. some days he does it, some he doesnt.

Gosh this topic has got interesting since I last looked! Kallibear and CP Trayes I agree with what you say totally. What we have to remember is that in the wild or in the field if a horse barges then they are likely going to be double barrelled by whoever they are trying to shove out of the...

probably not!!!! My boy was the same. He also used to lie in his old field with his back right up against the metal gate looking down the field. How he got down right there I do not know!

couldnt read and run but wanted to say there are some excellent suggestions on here. work through them and let us know how you get on. I have a 4 year old Warmblood and at 2.5 he was a total idiot on the ground. I had to start groundwork then as it gave him something to do and he actually...

I would be more worried about undertracking than overtracking. My boy overtracks by a lot when just walking on the lead and I would much rather see and overtrack. although granted can mean a lot of shoes pulled and a good set of overreach boots! and yes, I also think you are bragging about...

this. Mainly with my boy its to do with his damn teeth! sharp tap on the end his nose normally does the trick! used to have to get tough when he was younger as he would rear etc but thats stopped now anyway.
