Is it the higher ranking horse or the lower ones?
Yes, but only an extremely dominant mare going for a youngster or small pony, and meaning it!Just curious - has anyone seen a horse attack another which is down and rolling?? They are obviously vulnerable in that situation but I have never seen it happen.
This looks like clever time elapsed photography taken of 2 horses; 1 grey that doesn't move and one brown that rolls 3 times
I see what you mean, yes it does look like that!This looks like clever time elapsed photography taken of 2 horses; 1 grey that doesn't move and one brown that rolls 3 times
I don't care how dirty they get rolling, but rolling too close to the fence gives me the horrors. I have seen two dreadful accidents with horses rolling too close to a barbed wire
Gives me the horrors too, I've moved the fence and always take them well past it when I take them into the field but they still do it!! TBH I hate electric fencing but they open the haylage bales if I don't fence them off.I don't care how dirty they get rolling, but rolling too close to the fence gives me the horrors.

Lovely field photo fburton!
Any of the boys. My mare rarely rolls when there is any risk of getting wet/muddy. She does roll in the summer/mild dry days and lies down every night in her stable, and will roll in the stable when there are clean shavings and she is rugless. She will even have a snooze in the field on warm days, but she is very picky about when she rolls. The boys however - anywhere, any time, any place!!!
