Well I am going to call the vet tomorrow and have him gelded. He is green broke to drive and I will keep him driving. He is purposely mean. It is not playful aggression. That is why I was so concerned. After I geld him and give him some time to calm, I will re evaluate the situation. He has been handled and shown all of his life. I will try working with him some, but it is not worth getting hurt over. There are lots of nice minis in the world. Thanks everyone.
Good for you on making a decision. :aktion033:
Gelding is not always the answer, but I think in this case a good start.
But if I may give my opinion: please don't stop here!!
My stallion was just like yours: he was nuts and getting to be dangerous.
Even American trainers asked me what I did with this horse that made him so nuts.
I did not do anything wrong, never treated him like a pet or cuddled him.
I have always tried to stay the alfa mare and be firm with him.
Now after gelding him and totally changing his training (he also has more room to run) he is going to be one fine gelding.
He now listens to me, has respect for me and may even become a nice showhorse.
But this has taken a good amount of training and me firming up a lot.
:
You say you will try working with him some.
I don't mean to be disrespectfull, but you either set a goal and work hard with him or sell him.
No offence but I think this horse won't benefit from half work.
Please note that this is just my personal opinion and I don't know about your life situation or background.
I hope you and your soon to be gelding can work things out.
