Okay, I can deal with me not been happy on a yard due to petty little things that annoy me. But all yards are like that taking the rough with the smooth.
However when my horse isn't happy I know I need to act . At the moment my horse is in an alleyway so to speak. It's inside and he can only have a nosy when people pass through the alleyway.
There are bars behind so he can see and touch other horses. However this is where the problem starts. The horse will pull faces or try to bite him when he cribs. It's getting to the stage where hill is so stressed he will pull faces at me, ears back, shaking his head, kicking out and refusing to go back. This is just when I am trying get to hang up his haynet! His tea is worse doing all of the above as well as therating to rear. I have tried covering up the back off the stable but it doesn't really seem to have made a massive difference. Though I am going to try that again.
Unfortunately there are no other available stables and this is now effecting me. Because I know his stressed out and unhappy it's getting to me .
Sadly the stable that was free by the time I got there on the Sunday there was already another horse In it.
