I have an experienced gelding who has been to shows and CDEs, no problem. My other mini is a mare that is just a companion/pet but I'm not sure she's ever been without equine companionship.
Now I want to trailer the gelding to clinics and shows and I'm worried about what I will leave behind for my husband to deal with.
The mare is fine if I'm out of sight driving on the property. She whinnies a lot when he comes into the barn to be groomed or clipped, etc.
They are not in together most of the time (sometimes for an hour of grazing a day) but they can always see each other, even in the stalls at night.
When I've had the gelding in the grooming stall, she's reared in her stall, feet on the chain link that is 4 feet high. She is normally a bit of a nervous horse and I don't really want to stress her out. If she's put in her stall at night (with food) she runs around and around ignoring the food until the gelding comes in so don't think food will do that well.
Has anyone used ace tablets to keep them from hurting themselves, handling being alone better?
