Pasture bully

[Pinkvboots]

The pony needs work and a job to do .
I am glad you got it sorted .

This is often the case as some horses get bored and too full of themselves so find there own entertainment and often it's being a thug in the field.

Arabi was always calmer in the field when in proper work.

My 4yo is a bit of a rough and tumble yobbo. Not a rig, he has been blood tested. He’s just young and thuggish. My older geldings taught him to play far too rough when he was young and then he outgrew them in terms of stamina and strength and they started to regret their life choices. Young one now lives with a super kind but super alpha mare who takes no nonsense from him. I feel bad that he doesn’t have a gelding to play with (lost both older boys last year) but everyone is a lot safer now, no knocking each other over during rearing games. They spend 90% of the time eating from the same blade of grass and great buddies, the other bit she spends working on his manners!

That's just so sweet. I think you could write a lovely novel from the horse's point of view.
