Demon exorcist...
16.2 4 yr gelding, bought as a 3 year old,.. knew he could be a handful turn out wise.. groom was scared of him. but for a LONG time saw no signs of him being nasty, then he had an inury to a back leg.. understandably whilst it was being cleaned he was lashing out..
skip forward a bit, horse got a bit attitudey.. if i asked him to move over and he didnt fancy it, hed shuffle at me, if i carried on he would then aim a back leg at me, we did have one stand off, where he really wouldnt move over in the stable to his arse met a whip.. this was through a heavy weight stable rug, and it went like this..
me over.
horse.. boot,
me whip and over.
horse boot
me., whip and over.
i won.
couple more incidents like the above, and generally just picking up the whip and giving him a loud over done it.
skip forward to last few months.
he had a front leg injury very nasty and required daily flushing and a few days of a poultice, he bit, he reared, at one point i had 2 people holding him., at one point even if i was just looking from the opposite side he was going for me with teeth.
so lets skip forward. a couple of weeks ago, whilst in (he is in a barn about 30 by 20 foot )i just randomly lent across him and feck me he went for me, proper ears back teeth going.. was taken back but thought no more,
then the next day i was grooming him and the same thing happened.
then he was laid down and i was sat beside him, one of the kids walked through the barn, gave him a fussy in passing and carried on, horse wnet for kids legs.
all 3 times recently have been on the same side.. i thought pain, and had a good poke and prod, vet out to do jabs, she also had a poke and prod.. nothing apparent.
today.. beast has been washed for a comp tomorrow, he got a smack for being rude, and then stood like a statue, at that point, he was being rude, he got one smack with a stand. and he stood.. i praised and did actully go and get him a polo.
put him in the barn, he threw himself on the floor. got up bucking he wanted to go out of the exit that leads to the field and it was not done up, he was at this point munching hay, i went to tie gate up and all hell let loose,
horse really went for me, both back feet lashing out AT ME. that was not acceptable, so he got a rollocking verbally and a whip thrown at his arse. to get him over. he went for me with back feeet, he went back wards, he went side ways, i lucky for me had someone holding the gate and got out.
had 30 seconds going dear god, and went back in, told him in a harsh voice to stand bloody still and walked up to his head. at this point he got a big fuss. i done the gate up and left him.
now ive dealt with horses that are nasty.. but never one that become nasty, his sire was nasty so that could be part of it.
i know ive mentioned the whip but he is not hit about, he isnt the sort of horse you can do that to, normally a firm no and he backs it in, but tonight was worthy of a bullet.
so what havnt i thought about.. why is a horse becoming nasty.?
