I just realized about 2 weeks ago that Sky can't hear and am looking for any advice on working with him. He has obviously hid it very well since I have had him for 2 months now and just figured it out. I'm sure he wouldn't be so headshy and nervous sometimes if he could hear my voice but that...

Sky was gelded one week ago today. He is 2 years old and is deaf. He has really been calm this last week, that is until tonight. It took me at least 30 minutes to catch him. I have never in the two months I have had him seen him act this way. He was really acting crazy running around his pen and...

I am trying to figure out what kind of feed Sky should be getting. He is a 2 year old gelding and is at the correct weight according to his vet. He is not worked in any way at this point in time. My question is what should I be feeding him to maintain his current condition. He doesn't care for...

I am looking for tips/advice on teaching basic manners. I work with Sky daily but am wondering what you all would suggest doing. He came from a bad situation and is very head shy. He also tries to nip from time to time. When I let him know I am the boss he holds a grudge. Yesterday I posted that...

Sky has a major additude today! Wanting to chase the dogs and being aggressive towards the goats. He even tried to bite me. Not typical behavior for him. At least not to this degree. I'm sure it's the stallion in him coming out today. He will be gelded in two weeks. Pleas tell me this will help...
