If my horse Badger decides he doesn't like another horse while hacking/hunting or whatever he feels like he is going to try and back into them and boot them and/or try to bite there head off! I'm normally just quite strict with him and keep out of the way of the horse he doesn't like and all is fine.

A young girl rides him for me sometimes and was out with my mum and dad, my dad came along sides with Badger and he went at my dads horse, Tully, in quite an evil and dramatic manner trying to eat poor little Tully!

I think it is partly bullying (it tends to be ponies who he doesn't like) and partly jealously because he is in love with my mums horse who is normally around when this behavior occurs. He has never kicked out though.

I'm not really sure how i can reprimand him for this, but it's not really one of his nicest attributes so i want to get him out of his bad attitude! Any tips???

Ummm, I don't really know but I noted another girl rides him. Well my old horse is only ever ridden by me however, I decided she needed more exercise so asked for volunteers. Well I got a girl at the yard to have ago but I noted she'd suddenly she reverted back into her bad habits which involved biting, bucking, spooking etc. Well the lady in question who tbf is a better rider than me has stopped and as a result my horse has become a totally easy ride agin....one horse one rider syndrome?

As above - I would make sure she got a bloody sharp slap when she done it, also remember to but on the red ribbon on whilst out at shows hunting etc.
