QUESTION: Hi Sylvia. Just wanted to pick your brains! Got a mare that is fine to handle, good to hack alone, but won't hack with others and will attack when close to others and needs to be miles in front and gets angry when behind. Any ideas?
I also think this following exercise might work if you pull out another horse (preferably a "get along" horse) to start schooling grouchy horse on "this is unacceptable behavior in my herd" as "lead mare.":
That one is a really effective exercise if you do it just like I've described. When I take in horses for extended training, they are eventually weaned into my existing herd gradually, step by step. If I see one being too aggressive, I indeed pull them out (with another, even better if it's the one getting picked on), I establish myself as "lead mare" of the herd, and school the "grouchy one" that this is no longer acceptable here in "my herd." It works!
