I am so sorry for your loss He was beautiful.

Thanks for the advice guys! I have hope that with gelding and little time and training it might be okay! We have an appointment to get them both gelded tomorrow at the vet. So far the little one hasn't been able to get out after we adjusted the fence some (our gelding sure looks lazy compared...

Okay I posted that and then realized I had more responses, LOL! So it sounds like if I give them some time and also geld them ASAP there might be hope yay, thank you all so much! I will keep you all posted on how things go. I'm calling the vet this morning!

Thanks so much guys...I have one more question. When they are calm, they are really well behaved, no biting or kicking, they stop when I tell them to, etc. BUT when they hear a neighbor horse neigh, they go crazy! That's when they are looking for a place to get out, etc. They are really wound...

Okay, background first we bought our first little mini boy about a year and 9 months ago. We had him gelded by our vet when he was old enough, he is mellow, does great with us. Two days ago we picked up 2 miniature studs, who are brothers, one is 3 years old and one is 4 years old, thinking that...

THANK YOU!!! I appreciate it so much!

I found these a year and a half ago when I got my first mini, but he was too small for my daughter to ride. We just got two new minis today (yay!) and one is a lot bigger, he was ridden by the children of the owner who had him before. I really want to get one of these soft blanket-style saddles...

Update: took him to the vet today and had him gelded. I will let you all know if that helps the behavior as well. Poor guy. I feel bad for doing that to him, lol. I think mostly our issue is a lack of training though. I don't think gelding him will make a huge difference. But we will see ;)

Ohhh they are adorable, I love them all! :]

Thanks, Krissy, he is not strong enough to overpower me, so yes I can pick up his leg, etc. Good suggestions

I wanted to add an update, I have been working with him since Saturday, and have noticed a huge difference! I was not spending enough time with him, and he knows he is not supposed to bite. Now I don't feel like it is an agressive thing, he is so playful. He tries to nip at me and then does...

You guys are awesome, I have learned so much already. We went out and spent the morning with him, brushing him and did what you all said. We took him for a walk and he has calmed down some. I really appreciate all of your input. We are not going to be breeding him, so we are going to geld...

Thank you guys so much! I really appreciate it, I am going to go out and work with him right now ;) Thank you!!!

Okay, thank you boinky! So how would you discipline him for biting? I really do not know what to do....

I am searching to see if gelding him will help stop this agressive behavior?; We got him in September. He was a huge sweetheart when we got him. I have taken him on walks and he was fine. Then he started trying to bite us. When he tries to bite me I tell him firmly NO and I twist his upper lip...
