This may be long so please bear with
Last month I moved my boy to a nice little private yard (with 3 other horses on it) from a big competition yard (I moved becase he was on part livery & the grooms were not looking after him properly). Since the move my boy is pretty much acting like a spolit brat.
He has become bargy, biting, kicking the s*** out of the stable door & trying to clamber over the door(even when the others are in), neighing constantly for other horses, acting riggy when around the other 3 horses & I am just not coping with it all. All his life he has been a complete laid back larry (I have owned him since 3 year old he is now 10) & this change of behaviour has completely thrown me as I just cant handle him. He wasnt even like this through the younger years.
Ridden the only way I can describe it is its like I am on a ticking timebomb.
He is on DIY & he gets turned out during the day, in at night but at the moment I have just left him out as I cant deal with him kicking the s*** out of the stable doors & trying to clamber over as he has been doing (even when the others are in)
Does anyone have any advice?? I know we have only been there a month but its just uncontrollable now to the point where I dont want to be around him
Worse thing is I told the lady when we moved there that he is a complete saint (which he was before we moved!) & he has turned like this I fear even she may have enough & ask us to leave eventually anyway as he is being a right nuisance. Its her own yard attached to her house & she asked if he was well behaved before we moved & we are on a months trial.
Left over easter eggs (I'm a good girl!) for your help
