Horses biting

[dreamcometrue]

Has anyone any suggestions how I can stop a new horse mercilessly biting my (very docile) horse when they are turned out together. He has about a dozen very noticeable patches of bare skin now (he is very light chestnut).

Either leave them to sort it out, or separate them if the more docile horse is being hurt.

Separate them I would. x

Is he being aggresive or just overly playful? Can you put on a lightweight full neck (like an Amigo) for a while so if he bites, he'll just get a mouthful of rug? Hopefully he'll soon get bored. I wouldn't seperate them as it's probably impratical and they're likely just sorting out dominance / hierarchy. Perfectly normal.
