It's been awhile since I've been on here. Who knew buying a farm would consume all my time to check my horse sites :shrug:
I've got a question for anyone that may have some experience or ideas to rid the new unwanted behavior. Just got a new horse about a month ago. So far he's been great with the exception of the recent (last few days) naughty habit of kicking the stall divider between him and the horse next to him. He only does it before the am feeding as I'm filling feed buckets. He's a smart little buggar and waits to throw his tantrum until I've walked into the tack room and am out of sight. If I poke my head back out to fuss at him he's standing around like nothing happened (making it hard to catch him "in the act").
He's the lowest man in the herd. He's quite the coward because he wouldn't dare challenge this horse in the field (kicking at the divider is 'safe' because the other guy can't get to him). The other horse just stands there unphased by his antics.
Any ideas?
