I moved my two to a new yard two weeks ago and assumed no issues with herd as they've had it before with no problems. Eight horses out in seriously huge field which is also on a hill and has loads of space for them. Unfortunately one the first day they were fine until bringing in time when one of the owners inadvertently let mine through the first gate into the small space before the second gate and the boss of the field was also there and decided my two needed telling off. Ripped rugs and very battle scarred, my two are now point blank refusing to come anywhere near the gate until they are last. The big man is a wimp so not surprised at his reaction, but little man just stands miles away from the gate until everyone has gone. I’m having to wait until late. Yesterday the boss was gate guarding and it was hopeless, but literally as soon as he’d been caught, mine came trotting down the hill to me.
I’m sure there are some of you who have experienced this, but I can’t ride during the week as it’s so late and I do get v tired, and today I’d like them in early to do stuff with them, but I’ve no chance. There is one horse that they don’t run away from, but other than that, we have one that kicks and bites people and horses as well. Any suggestions?
