First post here so hello to everyone first.
SO my wife and I have had a mare QH for a little while now and she has been a GREAT horse. A friend called and said she needed a home for a five year old mare Paint. Figured fine, would work some with this one and have a horse for both my wife and I to ride. Well, sounded like a good plan.
I got the Paint over to the stalls no problem but now the QH is going nuts. She keeps charging the other one (they are in different stalls but next to each other). She keeps biting the rails and shaking the hell out of them, biting the other horse when she can get at it and will not stop putting the ears back and showing her teeth at the other. My wife took the QH out for a ride this morning and I waited until they were gone to go into the stall with the Paint, well the QH spotted me from a ways off and came back not listening to commands or anything (she would stop but as soon as the preasure was off she was on the move again). She has four other mares around her and one gelding and could care less about them but they were there before she was.
To the point, is this going to continue or will they work things out and things go back to normal? The Paint is having nothing to do with this, she stays back with the head mostly down.
