Oh boy. You might want to consider moving her to another barn. The other horses have singled her out to pick on, for whatever reason, and she's scared. I made the mistake of not moving a horse that picked on the lower ranking horse in my pasture (both belonged to me) and the lower ranking horse was injured so badly I had to put him down. I knew the lower ranking horse was scared of the other horse and I should have kept them separated. I have alot of regrets over that.

Good morning.

Those cattle prods do hurt. We use to have one when we had roping cows. They put out quite a charge, lights up the fillings in your teeth.

I rode Rusty yesterday evening. We did about 20 minutes walking, trotting, and cavalettis. Mon. we are doing some trails.

The horse that I usually ride at my barn is at the bottom of the food chain, that's for certain. There's a boss mare that guards him and tries to run off anyone that goes to catch him. She'll beat up on him if he's first to the gate, and last week she actually ran to the gate that she thought that we were going out of and stood guard. I faked her out and used the other one. :-) Is there any way that you can move sara lee to a new paddock? Is this alpha horse new?
