My horse turned on me...?

Try treating her like an animal, not a princess, and don't muck out the stable with the horse in it.

Just be more firm everysooften.

Well, she's been spoiled, and now she's testing you. So do what any alpha mare or older horse would do if she behaved this way to them - Wave your arms, stomp your feet, make a ruckus and send her out of your space until she wants to behave. If she gets dangerous by crowding you and you think she might actually kick or bite you, smack her one on the leg or chest with the handle of the pitchfork, and send her away. The contact will render the equivalent of another horse kicking her, and get the point across. Sometimes you have to be blunt.

Sure, its harsh, but you can't have a horse learning its ok to attack people. So long as you keep the punishment fit to the crime (and attacking a person is a MAJOR no-no) and drop the issue once she decides to behave, you're fine.

The herd etiquette here is she can only be near you if she is going to behave and not harass you - you are not there to "play", and her form of play is too rough anyway. All of her other equine pals she is out with are probably going through the same issues (or have sorted it out already) and are going to be just as strict and rough with her. You need to be as well; you are not doing any kindness by spoiling her. All this will do is create a nasty ill-mannered brute that will invite abuse once she reaches the point that you cannot control her and pass her on to someone else to "fix".

If you don't want her beaten, or destroyed, later on down the road for her behavior, you need to nip it in the bud. NOW.

Your horse thinks that she is alpha and she is trying to make sure that you know it. She doesn't see any difference between you and another horse and she is treating you like a herd member, and she is being territorial about 'her' paddock. So you are going to have to reclaim that from her, and get her moving and yielding when you say so.

You don't have experience with young horses, so you need to hire someone to come and work with her. Rearing and striking are dangerous behaviours that will get you hurt. Those need to stop immediately.

That's her problem. She's spoiled. You treat her like a princess. Stop giving her treats and start telling her that kicking and rearing are not acceptable.

If you have no were to move her while you are cleaning her yard, is there a place in her yard you could have her stay, maybe have a friend who is willing to hold her and teach her not to rear and kick hold her.

It's not safe to have her running around while you are mucking out her yard. Especially if she is going to rear and kick.

Your answer is in your question - you've treated her like a princess not a horse and she's now growing up and starting to take control. She's a horse, you need to treat her like a horse and be strict with her and discipline bad behaviour. She'll actually be much happier if she knows her boundaries. You need to stop this now - think how bad it will be once she's actually fully grown.

If you don't know how to handle her and discipline her appropriately then go to a trainer who can help you.

You answered your own question, you've spoilt her and now she's taking advantage. Too often people make the mistake of coddling young horses and then wonder why they turn.

If she misbehaves then it must be reprimanded immediately, be firm but fair, she must learn that it's not acceptable to behave that way as it's already becoming dangerous and without discipline you will have a little monster on your hands.

If you cannot put some manners on the filly yourself, then send her to a trainer to teach her some manners before it gets out of hand and she hurts someone.

a young horse needs a stern owner who will teach them how to act etc

they don't want a friend, you probably's think your being nice and that it will be better for them but it's not as they'll start to treat you how they'd treat another horse, a kick up the backside wouldn't hurt but some people are against this, try shouting a loud deep yet short snappy word it'll soon teach em'

You need to quit babying her, otherwise you are gonna get hurt. That is a thousand pound animal, and needs to be respected as such. Sounds like she is trying to be dominant over you. You may just have to put her halter on, and tie her to a post OUTSIDE of the paddock area.

A young horse needs training and correct discipline, not babying. Horses are animals that have the potential to kill you, send your horse to a horse trainer so they can get rid of the bad habits that you have probably created.

Next time she bites you, grab her halter and lower her head to bellow yours and look her in the eye for about 10 seconds.

Net time she kicks, swing a lead rope at her and if she doesn't run, swing it into her back legs (NOT whip)

When she rears, again, pull her head down and look her in the eye. If you don't happen to have a halter on her, wrap a lead rope around her neck to get her head.
