Please sen...Oh, I am sorry it is so hard to watch. Please send me an update, I am hoping it has got a bit better now . I am sorry that I did not manage to find a solution that I can pass on to you. Chesney was more aggressive to Tommy in the field than he ever was to Fidget, but Tommy was much cheekier and Fidget kept out of the way. If you have learnt any tips over the last few weeks please share them here to help any one else going through this. It is so hard that we can't just explain to them that they are still just as special as ever. <br /><br />The only thing I can think of is separating them, putting some temporary fence up between them whilst they settle. You could bring Fiddler out of the field for his food and leave Raven in the field with hers.

Just today we brought him home a buddy (Raven, a Morgan/welsh paint mix mare who is not mare-ish at all!). She is much tinier than Fiddler, and younger. He was always the dominant horse in the herd he was in previous to coming to us. He has not seen another horse in a year, but I can tell you, he has never once been aggressive to myself, my husband or my children and is such a chill guy...but can be sassy and want things his way. Since bringing Raven home, he is flattening his ears, biting her and kicking. She is holding her own, but I'm praying this doesn't go on too long because it's so hard to watch...and frankly dangerous to be in with them when I'm trying to feed. She is so sweet, and when he comes to "snuggle" me, she stares over and meanders over too! To which he responds by chasing her and bullying her. I feel like the more I'm around, the worse it almost seems to get. Is this typical and they will find their way sooner than later...or is he really jealous that this baby girl wants to snuggle his mommy and he's had me all to himself this entire last year...?<br /><br />Amy Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13944809182851553908noreply@blogger.com
