My daughters gelding gets very upset at shows when I ride my mare away from him. They are best buddies at home. If we take him away, she is fine, but if she leaves without him he runs and gets himself worked up. Last week when I rode her away after a class and she would not let him go, he went up and almost over with her. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the information. Always nice to know other horse owners deal with the same issues!

Good advice, but I still think that they want to be with each other. I have one that does this at horse shows when I take her buddy away, but if she has another horse next to her in that barn and can see it, she’s fine. What then?

I was just wondering, I am a 11 year old who is retraining a pony who has bucked, bolted, and bit, all when she was trying to get back to the other horses. She is usually fine, until the other horses get riled up, they neigh at her which makes her want to go back, How can I solve this? P.S. She likes to rebel, my dad yanked on her and as pay back she bucked me… Please email the answer to me at Jaxeyboo@gmail.com Thanks!

Thank you so much I have a rescue horse to keep mine company and for 3 years I have had to find someone to ride her with me because she looks like she is going to have a stroke when I ride mine alone. My gelding, goes gets crazy if I take her out, even along the fence line. He tries to about climb the lean-to to get out with her. Im alone with these creatures and I have you to thank for addvice.

Great idea, however the 300 to 400 times practice seems so extreme. I hope my horse figures it out asap. I really would like to go for a ride……but I also like the safety issues covered.
