My horse last week charged (With teeth) our manager at work, she was catching her horse from the pasture where my horse is top stud (Gelding). He ran at her baring his teeth and she turned away in time then (thank god!) kicked him as hard as she could. She now has a sprained ankle.
Now, she wants him to be sold asap (He IS for sale but not being advertised) and I don't want to sell him yet because we're going to be training FEI Juniors this winter. So barring selling him, these are the options we have to consider:
-Stabling indoors with private turnout (Not actually an option because I can't afford it)
-Private outdoor Board (Also not an option because it's almost as much as indoor board)
Something else? I need advice on what to do! HELP!!!!!!!

I don't know how your barn goes about where you keep horses, but at my barn, if you need to move your horse for a few days/weeks, you're allowed to with no seperate cost.
Is it at all possible for you to keep him in a stall during the day, and during the night, but you going over frequently to let him have some pasture time?
Or would that count as the stabling indoors/private turnout?
Or could you move him into a different pasture until you can sell him?
I'm sorry if I'm not helping.
Just throwing out ideas.

Thank you for trying! Um.... I can't be out there more than once a day and right now the owners don't want anyone other than me handling him unless they have to. They also don't have anyone to put him in another pasture with....

Has he done that again? Perhaps it was just a one time deal? It's not unheard of. I would take a riding crop out when I went to get him or another horse for the next few weeks and beat the crap out of him if he tried it again. But I wouldn't be surprised if he never did it again anyway.

My riding instructors horse used to do the same thing... You couldnt go in the same stall with the horse unless you had a crop..When you bring him in or just go in the field to see him bring a crop. If he threatens you/ bares teeth SMACK HIM. I know you were saying that he has never done this before.. But he shouldnt be starting... so you should stop it before it becomes much much worse...
And not a light smack.. It is NOT RIGHT for him to be doing that. It may sound harsh but beat him! He needs to learn that hes not as macho as he thinks he is!

I agree with the last two posters.
There is a horse out where I keep my horse, and she has always been very nasty.
You couldn't go near her without her rolling her eyes back in her head, flattening her ears against her neck, and lunging at you.
She has gotten my curled up in a ball against a fence protecting myself and kicking her chest.
She is a DANGEROUS horse and you have to be willing to hit the crap out of her if you want to pass her. If she gets a hold of you, she WILL kill you. I can imagine her grabbing someone's shoulder and flailing them around until their whole freaking arm comes off.
It's dangerous. And her owner does not care, at all. So you have to go out there with a whip if you want to get past.
But I doubt your horse is this bad, if he hasn't done it before. Dx
I dunno what other advice to give, if you HAVE to get rid of him.

I haven't heard of a horse doing that before. But maybe someone did something to him. Like something he didn't like. Maybe hit him or throw things at him. But yea you should use a ridding crop if he keeps doing that. I agree with the other posters, you really should beat the crap out of him. It may be mean, but he does need to learn that he isn't head boss when it comes to humans. He may be able to boss the horses around but they have four legs and teeth to fight back. A human don't.

There is never any excuse for a horse charging a person. Never. It is extremely dangerous and needs to be addressed. As his owner it is you responsibility. Put some ground work into him and get him very submissive on the ground to the point where he's following you around like a lost puppy and stopping, turning away, and backing up from just you walking into him. His behavior is extremely aggressive, and even if this is the first time he has done it, more the reason to stop it now unless you want to end up with a horse like iHorsetamer mentioned. If you need help with ground work I'm sure your trainer could help.

How can you keep a horse from lunging forward when you go to run it. I tried putting a tie down on mine and she won't stop. She rears then leaps into the air and shoots forward. I'm use to it and it don't bother me anymore, but I let other people ride her and I don't want them getting hurt. When I hit her on the head, she just lays her ears back and will stop for a while but goes back to lunging again. Can anyone help?

your horse needs to learn some manners. first off get a riding crop and dont be afraid to him hard when he does it but beware in case he spins and kicks out, just saying always be on your toes. then make sure you show this horse your boss at all times and whoever enters in with him must do the same thing.
