is this considered a good thing or not? I have read conflicting opinions, some people say yes, but others say no it is a digestive problem and a reaction to having something in the horses mouth (as in a bit) that they cannot swallow.

if a foals mother dies (not necessarily during giving birth..maybe later on) in a wild herd of horses, do any of the other mares look after that foal? or is it just abandoned?

thanks

my friend has a few horses, she had a colt recently gelded (10 weeks ago), however he is still behaving like a stallion and has even ran at my friend a couple of times. (he didnt do this before) the only thing he doesnt do is actually try and mount any mares. if anything his behaviour has got worse than it was before gelding. my friend is very experienced and does not take any nonsense from her horses, they are always taught good ground manners and respect for space etc. this one has always been a bit more over the top and almost obsessed with the mares. if his behaviour does not get better he will probably end up going to the big field in the sky (she would never pass him on to any1 else) has any1 had a similiar experience? and how long could it take for him to settle down?

thanks

the owner of my yard has just got some piglets and some of the horses are not very impressed! it just got me wondering if its the noise or the smell or something else..

just curious..

thanks

i am interested to hear views from any1 who has an opinion on this and if there is a link to TB in cattle.

thanks

he has been fine in the day for a long time now, but still has one or two accidents at night.
