We went out to a poor badly bitten pony this morning. he had jumped out and was in the adjoining paddock thank goodness. The two geldings have shared a paddock since we got them both about four months ago. we move the ponies between two fields quite a distance apart and we have to keep one of the other geldings away from our new horse as they fight. My daughters new pony that is very sweet and very quiet in the field was bitten very badly last night by the other horse. We iced the worst swellings and bathed the worst grazes and sprayed him all over pretty much. He must have over 20 bites on his body varying in degrees of severity. The vet prescribed some bute and we managed to get some down him. We bought some arnica and witchhazel gel and applied that this afternoon.
We have moved the pony serveral paddocks over so he is on his own but has two mares beside him. He has settled down and is eating well.
just totally at a loss as to why the horse turned on him like that. They will never be left together in the field but will have to travel together sometimes .
Any thoughts please
