him coming home here for a farm call and said they can't tell unless they take tests.(To see if he's proud cut)
Has anyone else had their gelding checked for this? Are the tests expensive?
Buddy now has starting biting at will, and we don't allow anyone to feed him anything by hand. Even a reward treat is given in his feed tub or the ground..
he gets soundly discplined for biting but does it anyway..also curling lips at mares at times "tasting" the air
He wonderful "free" spirit I love is getting tiresome when every time out is a battle, won't stand still to work him for halter, wants grass ALL the time which I don't allow. He out there to work, not eat.
Yesterday Buddy was in cross ties getting groomed, another girl took SHoetcake out, walked behind him and he decided to go too!
Went crazy and even was able to pull out of his grooming halter which is almost too small! He was loose which isn't a problem cause he stops at the first patch of grass and easily allows you to come up and get him.
This guy never spooks, loves grooming, falls asleep during clipping, bathing, great for farrier, vet..great in trail as he's not afraid of anything.
He's our love and so sweet and comical but this biting HAS to stop..I'm ready to cold cock,him! After all I never let my children bite and never had another horse that did this..it's got worse with Meghan who shows him, so barring a stun gum what can we do to break him of this?
I guess I will have him checked, several people at the fair thought he's not completely gelded, but I personally think he's just a brat! He RARELY tries to bite me or my hubby, well he weighs between 265-270 and is SO strong! Can you say Roadster?
Once we get the cart and harness believe me he'll be way too tired to misbehave! But can't afford one right now. Maxine
