Why does my horse love me one day and hate me the next?

I have a 5 yr old QH gelding for 8 mos. now (that is the extent of my horse knowledge). The first 4 months of ownership he and I were awesome, he never showed any signs of aggression. In Dec everything changed (vet checked, no pain). He acts like he is ignoring me when I am at the gate or in the pasture unless the alpha gelding approaches me he stays away. Even when the alpha gelding is next to me my QH will stay behind him and not even look at me. He is fine with me haltering, leading, backing up, grooming, etc, but if I am at the gate with a treat or his feed he always has his ears pinned. Yesterday while he was eating he started kicking the ground and I squared up my shoulders and walked over with a stern NO! he pinned his ears and shot his head over the fence at me (his teeth were not showing) I corrected him for this (cuz I am alpha) and today he is truly acting like he hates me. I don't want to give up, but I am at a loose of how to take this and what to do next.

Oh my cat dous the same thing. animals are Sociopaths.


they have to get their way, and if u do the littleist thing, they get kinda mad. This dous not mean pamper your horse like ur it's slave. Just don't let it get to u
Reply:Maybe when you first got him you loved him so much that you brought him a lot of treats. Have you stopped doin this? Check with your vet about this, maybe you leave him in the barn to long, they get bored when not rode enough. GOOD LUCK!
Reply:Your horse may know that the alpha gelding doesn't like him near the gate and stay away because of this, my old mare used to do the same in that situation.





Kicking out with a front foot while feeding is him being defensive of his feed, make sure you feed him well away from other horses and just stay out of the way, telling him off may make him feel threatened and make it worse.





Turning your back on him may feel dangerous but if you feel he isn't agressive, relaxing your shoulders and turning away shows you aren't agressive, my Mum's gelding is very frightened at times and if I turn my back to him he comes to me.
