I bought "Pops" in November from a nearby farm here in SC, and my sister, who lives in Tennessee bought his 19 month old son in March. Prior to me bringing Pops here, they lived in peaceful harmony in an "all boys" pen. Since Pops has been in with my ladies, I had Jr. in a pen that was adjacent to him, and he would rush at him, but no big problems. Today I put them together to see how they would behave together again, since they will be transported together 7 hours to Tennessee to use Pops for her mares, and to take Jr. home to them. (I made sure that there were no mares close by)
Pops was fine at first, then proceeded to whip poor Jr's tosh for no apparent reason except, of course, that he is the alpha stallion. )biting and kicking at his legs. Jr. just smacked his lips-no fighting back.
My question is, since the only rental trailor available doesn't have a separator, will Pops calm down for the journey. or is he going to try to beat poor Jr. up all the way? I may have to rethink this trip.
Thanks for your replies!
