Can anyone help I've had my gelding for 18 years who is now retired and never has he been nasty towards any horse. He has always been the domainant one but never attacked another viciously He has been turned out with both geldings and mares before.
For the last 10years he has been turned out with an old veteran mare who recently had to be put to sleep. He was sad for weeks so I went and brought a 2 year old cob to keep him company she is very quiet for a youngster.
So on arrival I kept them separate fir a while letting them see each other over the fence and knowing my horse wasn't nasty I let her in the field to have a sniff and get used to the surroundings for the first 10 minites they were fine then all hell broke loose my gelding charged at her bit the back of my youngsters neck pinned her against the wall and then began to drag her across the field my poor filly wee'd herself she was so scared and at this point I intervened. My filly never made a sound she just stands there. Why is being such a bully she is baby. He has always been protective of his food but he wasn't being fed at this point. I have kept my filly stabled last few days but my naughty gelding undone her bolts and she was out with him in the evening. When I came down in the morning my gelding saw me and chargered at my filly again same biting and cornering her.she just let's him do it. I'm thinking he is being possessive of his resources and protective of me but how do I turn her out without him trying to hurt her.
My gelding is turned out 247 as refuses to be stabled my stables are in my field so hard to separate them. If I tie my gelding up to turn my filly out his is so aggressive trying to break free from his lead reign.this is unlike him. He is 16.2 and she's 12hh so big difference in size any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
