Following on from my post earlier this week regarding a new horse attacking my pony, I arranged for my boy to be brought in at the same time as the older horses in the field to elimanate the issue of him being left on his own and consequently being attacked
However, I got to the yard today to find he had been attacked AGAIN. That's the third rug in three days. I'm at an absolute loss as to what to do. I approached the YO for advice to be told "what do you expect me to do".
How would you handle this? Would you speak to the owner of the aggressive horse and if so, what would you say? OR would you cut your losses and pack up and go?
I feel like such a wimp, I'm devastated that my horse is getting hurt and is stressed. It takes a lot to upset me but i'm teary just thinking that I put him in the field where he is being bullied.
He's staying in tomorrow to recover and give hima break from it but obviously he can't stay in forever.
Think link to my previous post is here incase you're interested
