Just a minor rant.

Horse face/NOB as he is now known is well...

exhibiting challenging behavior.

I have yet to decide whether to turn him into burgers or sell him to the local mine for 50p.

Him and his blasted 4k hock :mad:

ugh ugh.

I'm afraid we have fallen out, even though I am very understanding that after 4 weeks in a stable an hour of grass is MIND BLOWING THE MOST EXCITING TO EVER EVER EVER HAPPEN EVER! i still do not appreciate being trampled over, squashed, bitten, head butted, dragged or kicked :mad:

He has been turned out without sedalin twice now(been out with sedalin for 4 days), he is fine for an hour, stands and grazes. Then all of a sudden a switch flicks and we get flat out cob'r'us F1 impersonations round and round and round and round the field. So then he has to come in seeing as I can't afford any more vets bills :mad:

Even after an hour of calming down in the stable he still behaves like git.

I know I know sympathy is required, he is only a horse and his distinct lack of frontal (or any) lobe leads to lack of reasoning power but I still want him to be stolen by the child snatcher.

I think he is getting bored once he gets his fill of the grass, tomorrow he will go out with a little (unshod) companion to keep him company and give him some 'horse' time. If he gets kicked i'm leaving him tied to a lamp post.

Good luck when you turn him out with a friend, I hope that makes him a bit more chilled!

my boy got kicked in the hock and it wasn't going down! I tried separating him from the mares but he went made, charging around the field! in the end, I had to put him with my old mare and keep him away from the kicker! and that made a massive difference, he was much calmer and less playful and it done him the world of good, well hock wise, he is a bit bored!!
 
Hopefully it will improve his mental health even its just a short time to start with!
I'm just spoilt and he is usually foot perfect!
 
We had a similar problem with our mare a couple of years ago, heavily sedated she was fine, we gradually reduced the sedation and took her out for a little quiet hand grazing ..... she took off like a rocket up a very uneven rock hard lane, turned at the top and raced back down to us, jumped a large mounting block, landed on her knees, got up, walked back to us and carried on quietly grazing. The vet was speechless, luckily no further damage done. Oh well, thats horses for you.
