 My Heart Be Happy

Location: Arkansas | We have a 9 year old gelding that would run Dan (37) nearly to exhaustion. When I found out about it (Chandler saw it happening one day) Lynn's butt got stuck in his own little 3 acre lot. The electric fence is shared between him and the other four, so he can see them most all day long. They have about 35 acres so I don't understand why he couldn't be nice! He and our big paint kinda shared "low man on the totem pole" but he just wouldn't leave Dan alone. Dan is special, so Lynn got grounded!! | |

Location: "...way down south in the Everglades..." | I got one that probably needs a bullet rather than electirc as he attacks everyone and even tries to break into other pastures if someone is in heat. He will walk through an electric fence without a care in the world and ignored an electric cattle prod without even flinching. He will tear up both mares and geldings and if a mare is in heat he'll try to mount too. I think he might be proud cut or something but being a rescue with an unknown history I don't know for sure. He is bi-polar too and some days he was fine and others he'd lose it. The more horses that have come onto the property, the worse he's gotten. After he ran my main mare into the fence (the one who is just now coming back after 7 months off) I decided never again. He will stay alone, no matter how big the pasture.
Bottom line to OP, if you can at all seperate your pasture, just do that. In time you may find he can get along with a new horse but at least that gives you a safer way to start out. | |

Just curious here, why do you use a electric cattle prod on a horse for?
And to answer the op on her question, I have a aggressive gelding and he has his own pasture, he ruin my barrel gelding years ago, so he has to have his own place. | |

Lol I don't use it on horses, but I was looking for anything at that moment that would help separate him from the mare he was attacking who was bleeding all over and he wouldn't let up on. Neither that or the whip or the broom I was waving about stopped him from tearing her apart. He eventually let up enough so that I was able to get inbetween them and she ran to the stalls, but that was long after she was tore up bad. Mentioned it because those suggesting a shock collar...point being that I don't think anything would stop the one I'm talking about. | |

I would have put him down that day without a second thought. | |
