Spray the other horses manes and tails with vinegar. It's always worked for me. It won't burn them like pepper can.

We had a few of those on a place I worked at... They switched to Dynamite Minerals and it stopped....Otherwise.. Maybe some counseling.. He might be jealous.

A 3yr old may have a mineral problem but mine was weanlings/yearlings and think it was just them being babies.

Well I have only had him for about 3 weeks now and started him right when I got him and he chewed the tail the first week I had him home so I am hoping that now that he is getting the minerals into him that he will stop.
