Has anyone experienced having an elderly horse who for no apparent reason suddenly changes behaviour & goes from being a normal well mannered horse --no vices-- to being dangerous when approached. Mine ( 29yrs )now bites & kicks when having his rug changed & is so aggresive in his box that I leave the outdoor rug on all the time , which makes me feel really guilty about not being able to groom him every day. My vet who has known him for the 14 yrs I've had him can only put it down to him being an old man now as he has checked everything he can think of, teeth have been properly done, feet trimmed regularly, food adjusted to his age etc. It really upsets me to see the change in my beloved old boy.
