Youngster playing or more sinister?

[Shilasdair]

I've cared for horses for over 35 years and have given every single one of my horses everything that they have ever needed. For your information he is moving yards at the end of the month if you care to read the thread.
you will also see (if you care to read) that my youngster hasn't displayed this behaviour since as I've ignored it. For him, it's done the trick. My issue here (and for fear of repeating myself) was the 'groom' smacking a liveries horse around the head with its rope, for pulling to the grass. Again, I reiterate, that is NOT acceptable behaviour and is completely disproportionate to what the animal did.
if you think that's acceptable perhaps horse ownership isn't for you, no matter what age they may be...

Just to clarify - we are all answering your original query about your bitey cob, not your update.

That's pretty clear but it's 7 months old.

Nobody bothers to look at the date until someone shouts 'Zombie thread'.
