sorry.......its just im moving my horse back to the barn he used to live at, but its now under a new owner. she rode cutter once before she bought the barn to decide which horses she liked and didnt. well, she didnt like cutter and wanted him out for a few months so he could get better. she said he lunged at other horses, chased horses, make horrible faces, so on.
I know my horse. he was gelded only a couple years ago, so he is territorial and isnt fond of other horses, but i deffinitaly dont believe he is aggressive. my moms talked to the BO a couple times (were moving him on sunday to the barn) and everytime all the BO's said to my mom is how aggressive, violent, vicious, cutter is. ( i need to move him there bc its the only place close enough with an indoor for the winter). if she didnt want cutter at her barn, she could tell us. but if we are paying 525 a month, i dont wanna constantly hear her talking bad about my horse. its really annoying. she wants him to be practically in isolation at her barn, far far away from any other horses or people. she says people are expressing fear about cutter moving in, and so on. i love my horse, and hes not bad at all. he really isnt. hes not for beginners, and he acts more like a stallion than a gelding, but deffinitly no where near violent or vicious. in fact, the lady who keeps her horse with mine at the current barn, loves cutter and said she thinks hes "borderline cuddly". shes in her late 40s and works full time at a huge therapy barn, and she has tons of expereince with horses. i need to move cutter to this barn, bc theres nowhere to ride right now. but i dont want cutter being talked about like this, hes truely a great horse. i wouldnt buy a "vicious" horse. im hopeing when i move him there sunday, she will see what hes really like.
what would you guys do if everyone thought your horse was vicious, aggressive and violent? how would u handle my situation?
sorry for the rant, but its starting to really upset my mother and i having our horse talked bad about so much.
