I have never been more adamant about having the vet out for that reason alone and when the day finally came that the everyone agreed- barn owner, owner & trainer- I was more than happy to hold the back leg up when the dropped him and lopped them off! <br /><br />It still took a little while for the hormones to clear the system and things to calm down, but it eventually happened. Oh Happy Day!<br /><br />This horse charged the front of his stall when others walked by. Reared and struck out on the walker at not only the other horses, but his handlers (Me and the trainer) as well. If the rearing didn't get you he would also spin around and seriously kick at you. Everyone was Always walking on eggshells around this horse and the entire property if he was not in his stall. Gelding him was the best thing for this horse and luckily nobody got hurt before that happened.

Made me laugh even though I know you didn't mean to do evoke that kind of response from me. You know after I first posted about this incident someone accused me of making the whole thing up. Then as the situation with the red stallion stalking Legs began to materialize, I found myself dealing with the very same show manager as the one from all those years before. <br /><br />As we were talking about aggressive stallion behavior, I was wondering how I manage to find myself in the middle of such things and asked him if he remembered the incident. At first he didn't but with a few details I could see the memories come back to him. <br /><br />After the fact I wondered how he could ever forget such a harrowing night but then I remembered, he hadn't seen that part of it. He was the one called after it was all resolved. He probably had to file paperwork with USEF and the fairgrounds and then it was over for him but I'll bet that security guard still remembers every detail about that night. He was still ashen when someone from the show committee arrived and relieved him of the duty of cooling down the mare. <br /><br />I realized as I read your comment that I had forgotten to post the link about the stallion stalking Legs so thanks for reminding me. I will have to find the first post but did add a link for the part of the story I could find. When I think back on how well Legs handled that situation, I just love him all the more. He sure saved my b*tt. <br /><br />I sure wish there was a better way to keep track of past posts than these darn labels.

At least the woman who brought the stallion to Brannaman was determined not to let her horse fall into a situation like you described. <br /><br />That reminds me of a mare I met as a teenager. I was told she had actually killed three men when she was in a bucking string. The man who owner her had her for breeding but she liked me so much he finally gave in and let me ride her. She was my best bud and I never saw a sign of even frustration from her, let alone the rage that was described to me. In hind sight it probably wasn't very smart for Jerry to let me ride her. I sure didn't know anything except I felt incredible empathy for her. She could probably tell that and that is why I was safe with her.

I have never seen that type of rage, and hope I never do,I have seen a stallion "loose focus" in that he got so geared up he forgot that I was on the end of that rope, there is nothing for it , you have to get big and you have to get their attention and fastSherry Sikstromhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15739108723318002627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-56621148013967617342013-06-03T21:34:33.904-07:002013-06-03T21:34:33.904-07:00The college I went to had a stallion that was know...The college I went to had a stallion that was known to attack and try to kill people. He ended up getting cast in his stall and dying. Probably the best things for this poor horse because the worse he acted the more abusive the handlers got towards him :(hammerhorseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07144749417680923288noreply@blogger.com
