i am not an expert on horses as such but has an animal related education where we had courses in animal behavior...
and cause the horse shown signs of aggression in this one problem situation i'd say be careful...don't do this alone or maybe preferably get someone with more knowledge doing it in case the animal do decide to test the limits when pushed..animals can smell nervousness..and if the problem lays in thinking he is the boss like it sounds to be both based on those in here seeming to know horse behavior, and what i general know of animals...its not guarantied he is just gonna roll over and say hey ok i get it your the boss, i'll accept that after X amount of time...and while any animal behaving like that should be treated with respect even more so in the case of big animals like horses, cause your not gonna be able to physically overpower him but rather have to depend on psychical methods |
