Naughty youngster

[Berkeley]

Evening all

How is everyone?

Need some input on my youngster as he's SUCH a bully to anything smaller than him. He's being a little monkey in all respects and I would like to know what I could do about it. He's always got his ears back when anything comes near him although he's a little sweetie to lunge and handle for me. He's just got a problem in the field. He gets exercised everyday so I don't think he's bored. I backed him in February and since then he's had gentle handling.

What are the tips for bringing him inline?

Do you have a relatively dominant mare he could go in with? Our little 11hh welshie put my 16.3hh tb in his place quite nicely when he first came to me

I have one like this, I put him in with my older horse and he just pushed him around, bit him and tore his fly rug, he just would not leave him alone.

I have now split him up and put him in with our 'big boys' (two 18hh Percherons) he is now at the bottom of the pecking order and is perfect, he looks over the fence all day at the other horse but he can't do anything!
