Well if only there was just one problem! One of the problems I have is my old semi retired arthritic boy has to stay at the field while I exercise the belligerent highland.
Long story short. I’ve been shutting him in his stable while I ride. He shouts and twirls around in the stable. I worry it’s hard on him. No other horses around and no one to let him out once I’ve gone.
I tried getting a friend to let him out today after I’d gone and he went a bit nuts. Galloping and sweated up. What would you do? Field is on a slope too do even worse in wet weather.
Been trying to get him used to it for three months. Not changing.
