I understand what the dominant mare is doing, but I need to work with my horse, and the older mare won't let me. my horse runs off. rears, and bucks. I try to keep the older mare locked in her stall, but she really acts out. what can I do? If I take her down the road, she gets nuts. The reason I brought my horse here is because the older mares stablemate and Mom had to be put down, and I wanted her to have company. Do I just need more patience? thank you My new horse, who will be 7, just moved in with an older mare, 17.

I always keep an eye on her and i will never trust her when she has a colt with her but that seemed to help. at leastshe could not bite me. you do have to watch other things like pawing when they have the muzzle on she did try that. i do think that it is wise to not hand feed anything. this is for Donna Agelis, i also have a mare that is nervios, she was very nasty with her first foal, she bit my arm really bad through insulated cover hauls and a sweat shirt. this last foal i bought a grazing muzzle that is plastic i slipped it on her when i went in the stall, it made her really mad at first then i only had to use it twice and she got the point not to bite.

Untrained young horses, even with top bloodlines, can be bought for relatively little money compared to those with training. Once a horse is started under saddle and demonstrates that it is trainable, ridable and has some athletic talent for its work, the price easily triples.----from riderlove.com.
