OP, can you mow the lawn (the really green rich grass) put it in a barrow and put it in the stable for him? As much as you can get down him, on top of the extra sugar and the conditioning mix. Maybe put his water bucket OUTSIDE the stable and leave the door open? Thats something you will learn with the Parelli. xx
 
I'm in tears too.
Thanks for cheering me up.:D
It's possible that your horse has caught his rug straps on the corner of the rubber matting and is just stuck.
If you cuddle him enough he will love you and you won't have any problems with him.;)

FFionwinnie, it's no joke when a cow that is bulling jumps you, as I know to my cost they can flatten you.

Are you the horse in the pic then echo bravo :confused:

None of my cows have ever jumped me when they are bulling. They are however a very rare breed, almost horse like in their behaviour in fact:cool:

That seems a good idea about moving his water bucket but they also have automatic water fillers in the stable im not sure if I can get it disconnected

Why cant they have sugar? My fat pony gets a good glug of molasses in his build up mix 3 times a day. I thought it might give him a sugar rush and make him a bit more hyper so he burns off energy and weight. Seems I am learning something new today. Ill change to sugar free molasses first thing tomorrow. Thanks OP!
 
What can I do if he is just tired? Horses aint sarcastic thats just silly. Ever heard the phrase if you dont have anything helpful to say dont say nothing at all.

You should take your own advice! :D

Has it been raining outside when you go to see your horse? They are like cows you know, lie down when its raining or about to rain. :rolleyes:

If you "don't say nothing at all" that means you must say something. :rolleyes:

I found a pic of your horse, I think I know what the problem is.

OP, you have had tons of advice and I (and many other i'd say) have learned a lot too.

If he is tired you need to give him a feed of fast fibre soaked with a few cans or red bull. You could crush up about 5 or 6 pro plus too. That will get him moving if hes tired. Or maybe coffee? Can you give coffee to a horse? Maybe black? Not sure they can tolerate cows milk? Anyone? x
 
Bahahahahahaha!

This has cheered me up no end, thanks OP :D

Have the best pic in my head of a horse chilling out in his crib with a beer hat on now, I'm easily pleased :D
 
No he has legs I dont understand the joke. I think ill jus get someone to come see him face to face tomorrow as im getting worried I might need to get a new horse.
 
Give him some pro-plus. Or depending on the company you keep a dozen e's & an ounce of good quality amphetamines. And give him a few red bulls to wash it down with.
 
I wouldn't bother with a vet OP, they cost quite a lot of money. Maybe try an alternative therapist? Or maybe a riding instructor?
 
Chestnut! That makes it all so clear now, you need to dye him blonde, then he will be the life & soul of the party, instead of the ginger wall (stable) flower.
 
If it is just that he is chestnut what can I do about that? The seller never mentioned he was like this although I never see him in the stable at his old home. Do you think he was drugged? Should I ask the old owner for a refund? Im so worried about poor pete I cant sleep
