Username: Soccerchick96
Horse(s) Name(s): Snapper and Little Man
Problem/Question: OK.....So i have 2 questions but i will tell you what the story is behind it first. 1.) Little Man is a very curious horse. He likes to get into trouble at al times possible. (i.e: breaking through the fence at 1 in the mornin and havin the cops called out to the house cause both horses were in the middle of the road. ) He also tends to break things constantly. He tears up the stalls that we have and is constantly kicking/bumping into/pulling down boards. Our stalls arent the greatest in the world, but they work just fine. (My dad made them by hand.....our horses stay at our house and not a stable) So heres my question, How can i get Little Man to stop getting into so much trouble?

2.) Little Man is also aggresive towords men (except my dad) and is sometimes aggresive towords my other horse, Snapper. I constantly find scars on Snapper when I'm grooming him where Little Man has bit him or something. So heres my next question, How can i get Little Man to stop being so aggresive? Granted he is a very sweet horse, but he has issues with men. And yes i know that there is a hierachy in groups of horses, but ive never noticed other horses having scars on them constantly from other horses. (Its not majorly horrible, but its the occasional one here or there that worries me. )

Can you please help?

For both questions -
I think that you should consider gelding Little Man if he is a stallion, which it sounds like to me. Stallions tend to be aggressive towards other males as well as everything around him. Testosterone is really the issue - it makes stallions behave badly like this. It's not that expensive and doesn't take long. You REALLY wouldn't want a stallion getting out and breeding to a mare that you do not own - the owner could press legal charges.

Many ponies act that way even if gelded.

Is he though? If not, geld him, would be first step.

Also if He is wrecking his stall he might be bored...try getting him a toy or making one yourself
