    RE: [RC] [RC] [RC] "Horses that kick" - Jennifer Kurtzhall



    Well, thats great for you and your horse. My kicker has never lived alone, is the king of the pasture and guess what, when he is confronted in the pasture, he kicks. As a matter of fact I can't remember the last time he was kicked by another horse, he's too fast, strong, and smart.
    It's funny to me how people who have not dealt with the real problem of a kicker can give advice like that.
    Placing my horse "in a bunch of different paddocks with different groups of horses" would be detrimental to the health of those horses, and really just plain dumb.

    he was
    placed in a whole bunch of different large paddocks with different groups of
    horses and he learned how to be a horse, and how be with other horses
    without kicking or being kicked. He did get beat up a little, but that's a
    small price to pay for nipping that behavior in the bud. Would it work on a
    horse more set in their ways? I don't know. It IS an example of what did
    work for this one horse.
