This is going to be a bit of a long one!
I recently moved my gelding to a new yard (which he has been at before) and turned him out with a large number of horses in a large field. He was getting on fine, just the normal arguments that happen when they are sorting out the pecking order and that was it. Now he can be a bit tricky to catch and it got to the point where i was making him keep moving to try and wear him out abit, so he was trotting and cantering round and non of the others were paying attention.
A lil while later one of the geldings, who is very protective of a few of the mares, flew at him, and as mine cantered off he wet himself. So as they he was running away he was literally going to the toilet. I was really shocked and but it down to mayb that he wasnt able to stop for a wee for a while and the other gelding scared him and it just happened. However this then continued to happen on other days but only when this particular gelding went for him. The other day I brought him in from the field and the gelding involved was in his stable so as we walked past they said hello and the same thing happend again!! and then he was really scared to go near him!!
im just wondering if anybody has any ideas because the only thing i can come up with is the fact that my horse is actually this scared of him? has anybody experienced anything like this before?
If you have got to the bottom well done
i tried to condense it as much as possible without making it to vague haha
