My horses all live in a small pasture(or a large corral??) attached to a barn for shelter w/ a few stalls. Although we try to get grass growing, it's usually just dirt and a few weeds. It's not huge and grassy, in fact most of it's on a hill, but it's better than stalls, right?
What's the best way to introduce a new horse to our "herd"?(i.e. more dangerous to just throw them in or keep them separated for a while and let them fight over a wood door/pipe corral fencing?)
What's the best thing to do when you have one horse that just terrorizes another?
My poor horse now has a gash several inches long on her back leg, a cut on her neck, and half of her butt/inner thigh swollen and skinned because my sister didn't take the time to find out how her pony is with others before she bought her. The pony literally chases my horse down and charges at her just to bite her and kick her for no reason. For now we have her(the vicious one!) separated and locked up in a pipe corral stall- should we leave her in there?
