Ok here is one for you all!!!!!
My gelding is in a field with three others they all seem to get on fine. However yesterday I turned him out after a ride and the others were already in the field. Anyway he wandered away and the others slowly started making their way towards him. He then got down to roll and one of the others cantered straight up to him almost treading on him so my poor boy had to get up really quickly this horse then got down to roll in the same spot!!!! When the other horse got up he started to corner my gelding but he didnt once try to kick my horse or anything and then he followed mine around the field for about ten mins and everytime mine stopped to graze the other horse 'moved him on' by the time I left the yard they were all grazing quietly. Do you think I should move him to another field?? He is recovering from hind suspensory injury so Im a bit worried about field antics but maybe Im worrying about nothing?? Trouble is I dont observe them in the field much and this sort of behaviour doesnt seem to occur when they are all turned out the same time!! My horse is so lovely and couldnt defend himself!!!
