I have a very sensible Highland pony gelding who I ride and longline out around our narrow lanes, no problem. Recently a stallion has moved into a property fairly local to me and we have met him twice on our hacks, luckily the first time I was about to turn in my drive and I avoided direct contact but my pony got pretty het up. Second time we were further away - halfway up drive and Stallion appeared on the lane. Pony went very silly, snorting, prancing and generally not listening. It was very unnerving. I am now terrified to go out again as if we meet him on our narrow lanes it could get quite serious. The stallion is very vocal and excitable. I am surprised my pony reacted this way. Anybody else had this experience?
