Best Advice for a New Clueless Horseowner

First off I inherited the horse, so go easy on me for having a horse and no clue ....:lol:

I have inherited a 15 yo gelding halflinger mix... his hooves look like dinner plates (farrier coming on Friday).... he seems overweight but he is part halflinger....

He is sharing a pasture with a mini donkey stallion and they seem to have been long lost friends... they go everywhere together...

I have had him two days in my pasture after being allowed to roam in a cow pasture with no riding, no grooming (occasional mane and tail trim when full of burrs).

I really want to do well by him and his seems very well mannered (had to walk him two miles from a family members farm to my own.

I just retired out of the military and haven't been able to do any horse care training, nothing in 25 years.....

Please be gentle and help not hinder me.... I really am going to try and do well by my boys (horse and mini donkey)

Would you put goats in with the horse and donkey??

Thank you for any help and advice you may give.:-p

Dont think of him as the "biter"..... think of him wirh his name then you will feel less fear. Wap him good if he even starts to go for you hunch your shoulders and stomp the ground in a warning.... in other words act like them to show your yhe boss.
He is a cutie though!
