What can I do to help my pony?
In fact, I have a combination of two questions:) What's wrong with my pony? 1 2) What can I i do to help? got my Welsh pony is about 5 months and it was fabulous until a month ago when she began to show signs of aggression. she tries to bite me when I'm going to put on its cover, putting hay in the hay diet, lead to pasture, also accused to, tried to bite me and kick the other horses that shes been with for his entire stay in our farm. im really worried about it and I had the vet come and give his opinion. he suggested the "locked in his stall for a month or two" and I feel like that is a little crazy, especially because shes only a young horse who needs to get out and explore the world. please help me if you have any suggestions or thoughts as to why Buttermilk acts this way. thank you.
How old is she? Many things can cause a behavior change horses. Perhaps the way the others are his treatment in your facility are causing problems (too rough with her, leaving her people shoving). Perhaps other Horses are influencing its behavior (it is low on the totem pole and feels she has to fight everyone). Do not lock him in a stall. If anything, to turn full time. Let her work off some of its energy. Chassé, horses are grazing free happiest there. Have another veterinary opinion – to ensure that there is no pain problems underlying the problem (the question landfill could be due to pain / skin rain rot / etc.) Maybe she came into heat. At the same time working with her. Do not let it take to try to be dominant. A good tip for those who bite is a firm "no" followed by a blast in the mouth with lemon juice or cracking a whip on the ground (spanking the horse's nose to make him my headshy). Especially at meal time, she must respect your limits. Again, when you feed, be firm and say "no" if the head as she moves towards you (this is my personal preference … I believe that horses are ignore the food before they have fed and left the stall. It is safer if someone younger or less experienced need to feed the horse). If she ignores you and pushes for food / nips, growls again, and remove food. Back in the cabin and try again. Patience is the key. The horse gets tired of you coming in and out of food before you. Work on driving in a closed arena or zone. Make sure it fully respect you on a string of lead. Make a dressage whip and if it loads, towing with the cable outlet to correct it, if that fails, type in the chest with the whip. It is a matter of respect – once you closer to the practice of paddock / other horses. If she bites / kicks on a rope Lead is unacceptable behavior. If it does in the pasture with the horses, leave. It is the behavior hierarchy horse and if she has shoes behind everyone should be okay.
