Good point. I learned that the reason that big Percheron would not stop picking fights was that he was kept alone in a tiny corral until he was three. By then it was too late to learn manners. Today he has a different home and lives in a pipe bar corralwith other horses on the other side of the bars. He isn't allowed to have any inside his corral because he still tried to beat up every horse he meets.

Because I didn't want him in with the mares at the time. I know some people keep stallions isolated from other horses, but like many experts I agree that this is cruel. Ideally a stud colt should be put in with other males after weaning, just as colts in the wild join stallion herds. That's how Viking began life, running in a big pasture with other studs. Then at our place he lived with geldings for awhile. Now he's happily with three mares.

Imagine yourself riding that percheron when such an event occures :(

If you view my more recent videos of Viking you will see that he is behaving himself with other horses when they have riders. We have taught him to never dare misbehave with a human in the mix.

uh... do you think you should seperate them you fuc*ing idiot? everyone else here agrees... and i surely hope that isent a stallion then keeping those 2 together proves ur inadequacy to own anything other then ur lost empy soul. call me!

Let me guess. You evidently did not read anything on this page before flaming, or else you would know I *did* remove Danny from my property for picking too many fights. Not only that, he now has a safe home where he only socializes with other horses over a pipe bar fence.

stallions need companions just like every other horse

For those of you who don't have a lot of contact with normal horse herd behavior believe me a mare will do the same thing if a mare lower on the hierarchy gets near her food. Herds, both male and female, operate on power and the less powerful know they have to move off when food is brought or risk getting kicked or bitten or both for being disrespectful. Mares are satisfied with just running the horse off.  Stallions only try to injure when a mare is at stake and they have equal status.

be happy viking wasnt so broken and you had brought him back from the brink enough to defend his food and give that horse a talking to, also viking didn't attack the Percheron, he basically said this is my food and you cant have it, go away. he didnt antagonize the other horse once he backed off.

@xoxpandaxox666 it's just like a little kid.needs to learn respect and where it stands in life.

[SleazyKitten]

@xoxpandaxox666 ya thats fine and all but how many people will do this or are able to actually look after a stallion.this is why people without horse experience shouldn't own stllions just because they could do something that would be very dangerous for them or the horse and not even know it

[xoxpandaxox666]

It's Also called agression. When an animal hasn't been taught by its mother the pecking order from a young age it turns to the horse trying to domanate every horse because it never learnt and now it in its own mind is trying to restore order

[xoxpandaxox666]

they are all introduced to each other before hand i know my horses. i'm not an idiot. and guess what not everyone has the space to keep every horse keep seperatly and im not going to make them be stabled 24/7 i have NEVER had my horses fight. Its called training you horses properly.

[MsComanche1]

Yea and if one of those stallions were to lash out..You would have a huge vet bill on your hands some horses even die!

[MsComanche1]

No, Its called a pecking order honey!

Can I borrow Viking? I've got an 18hh Percheron cross who thinks he's a lap dog. He's actually my mother's horse - he'll be 11 in March - but since I put my Arab - his pasturemate - down in October at the age of 23, he's been a jerk. Mostly because he's lonely, I know, but can I borrow Viking anyway? :)
