So, having had a couple of days to handle and start to get to know Bailey, it's apparent that he has some very serious attitude problems..!!!
He will pin his ears back, bite and threaten to kick for no obvious reason, sometimes you can touch him and other times not, he literally tries to walk over you and if another horse leaves the field all hell breaks loose. He tried to jump out tonight, nearly taking the fence with him, because my friend walked her mare in hand down the driveway. Obviously I realise it's very early days but I'm not sure where to start? I can catch him and put his head collar on, he's strong to lead but manageable. He's a prat to tie up but he's getting there. I've had him walking a short way around the farm in hand, at arms length and I can get him to stand briefly when asked, he will back up if I push his chest but I asked him to move over tonight by pushing his bum and he kicked out.
I'm not sure if it's confusion, expecting pain (He flinched constantly) or that he's just downright rude??
Thoughts etc appreciated, I've dealt with youngers but nothing like this one!!! 😱😱😱😱
