Hi,
my TB gelding has been cut for 4 years now and hes not generally been near any mares for any period of time untill this summer... for 2 weeks his been not eating in the paddock and running the fwnce line after the mares and groom one or two over the fence with an erection... he calls to them morning and night but nothing violent untill last night....
he chased away several other geldings in his feild and has been seen full on fighting with another gelding....
and also last night a mre he was seen grooming came past him while he was tied up and i was mucking oout i came out (hes a kicker) to make sure he stayed put while the owner took her mare past she stopped and couldnt mover her mare the mare squirted and was whickering and in turn my horse whickered back and got an arched nech and erection the persistently tried to break from the tie up ring and mount her it got to point where he was striking out with his front legs and trying to kick me with his hind.
in the end i removed him from the situation when it was safe for me to get between them and get the mare out of the way.
i fear he would get worse have spoke to the vet and suggested a supplement so will try this but if it doesnt work the vet mentioned somthing about medication...
has anyone had experience like this before? he could have gotten quite dangerous.
thanks
