I think Beau still has his man bits intact.
I have some experience with riggy behaviour (my old gelding displayed riggy behaviur as did some geldings on old yard) but I have no experience with a true rig.
Why do I think he is true rig?
He has tried mounting the girls any chance he gets, he`s very dominant, Ayla has come in with numerous bits marks, not playful but big huge chunks out of her neck.
He`s bolshy, nips, will rear if he doesnt want to do something or is annoyed, he`ll lunge at my oh, spins to try and take your head off. in general is just a pig of a horse. He`s not so bad with me but that`s because I only handle him in a dually with a lunge attached so if he does have a moment I can get out of the way.
He is kept seperate to the girls now, he has his own paddock but is still stabled with them. After bringing the girls in the other night I turned him out their field for a run about as it`s a bigger field, well he went mental, (ayla`s in season) he had his head to the floor sniffing, galloping around like this, rearing, broncing, and then tried getting through me and a gate to get in the stables...
Am going to have him blood tested but where do i go after that? is an op always a success? if not I dont think there will be a place for him, I couldnt sell him on he`d be too dangerous for someone (imo) and he couldnt be a companion because he`s the spawn of satan
I have tried Rig Calm but made no difference what so ever really. the moutning stopped but nothing else.
I know he`s a two year old and they go through terrible two`s but there is a line between naughty and dangerous.
Any views?
