A cat won't like the op any more than the boy horse does. :confused:Don't be silly. She needs a big stoopid dog instead. :rolleyes:

My mistake FfionWinnie. I am not very experienced with any animals in general :(

Maybe OP, you could try tying some rope around each leg, grabs some friends and pull him out? Once he's out, shut the door quick, put his blue bridle on, take off his rug and shoes and crack on with the Parelli. You will best friends in no time.

Also, have you considered kissing spine and ulcers?
 
Im sitting here in tears, im devastated that he may not like me and people are suggesting I shoot him. This forum is very hurtful and full of horrible horse haters. Thanks for the serious people that responded will try beer, blue bridle, sugar and parelli and see what happens
 
I'm surprised at some of the advice being given. Having been a member on here for quite a few months I now know that the first point of any investigation is .. Teeth, back and saddle? Why has no one suggested this! :rolleyes:

I think this is great advice haffiesrock. The op could consider taking the horse on JK for a day out as well.

Guys I think you are overlooking the most obvious solution - the play dead syndrome! I have seen it many a time in all manner of creatures great and small. In fact even some of the England Rugby team were trying that trick the other day - if I lie down and play dead then no one will see me, no one will make me work and therefore no one can tell me off.

Failing that then I would recommend sending him racing as that seems to bump off a few horses these days.

I feel for you op, I really do. It must be terrible to be in your situation. :(















Its just we are all so much funnier than you!:D:p
 
Did you get the horse 5 stage vetted before purchase? I'm guessing not as the vet would have informed you that boy horses DO NOT like pink bridles and when they get stressed, their legs fall off. Classic symptoms your boy horse is showing i'm afraid...
 
Because dare I say it she's a Troll, if you horse was laying down most of the time would you be on here asking advice, no you'd have had the vet out pronto like the rest of us.

Oh my god! How could we have missed this! OP, get your marigolds on and get ready to catch! You will need hot water and clean towels...
 
Your pictures are epic Fw!
Don't be upset by the horse burger jokes op, we all love horses. With chips & onion rings. Your horse clearly doesn't want to be a burger though, he's destined for better. He's been lying down to keep the meat tender, he's steak quality imo. Throw a marinade over if you are concerned.
 
Well it's all very well saying teeth, back, saddle check... but if she's not feeding micronised linseed then there really is no hope...

OP it could be that your horse just isn't motivated. Try playing him some Tony Robbins or Zig Ziglar CDs...
 
He was vetted he failed on a flexsion test on his front legs but we got his price down and took him because he is just beautiful. I bouvht him to show mainly. I have the dentist coming out Friday could it be his teeth? I dont have a saddle yet I prefer bareback but once he is up and out I will buy him a matching saddle.
 
I dont suppose he has sarcoids does he?

You need to check his feet too, if they have lots of rings around them you need to make sure you feed him as much sugar as you can and get him really fat.
