My horse is rising five, bolshy know it all cob. A couple of times has threatened to kick out at another horse on a hack when they come past him or visa versa. I took him to his first show last weekend so first time in a warm up and he was very excited to say the least, he got rather uptight and defensive when other horses came past him and again threatened to kick out a couple of times.
He is also a bully with the big shire cross mare in his field and she now backs down and runs away, do you think turning him out with something that may knock him down a peg or two would be a good idea?
Apart from putting a red ribbon on to warn others is there anything else I can do to calm him or make things better.
Also does anyone know what might cause this is it just because he is young...or just him in general.
Any ideas opinions welcome
