I'm sure someone else has this problem, and I would love to hear what others do in this situation. My 16h Tb goes totally insane when I take my 14.2h QH out of the pasture to work with. When I stall her she will kick the stall down if I leave her there. If she sees the QH she runs the fence and distracts her so much I can't keep her attention, and if she can't see her she tries to climb/jump the fence. I'm open to any suggestions anyone can give me.

I think there was a similar discussion on this not long ago. I tried to do a search and came up with: Horseadvice.com » Training Horses » Behavioral Problems » Behavioral Problems topics not covered by the above »

Discussion Discussion on Jumping/Leaping
. . . and there may be other discussions posted.

Thanks Holly,
I already have 4 strand 5'6" electric rope fencing around my pasture. She hasn't jumped it yet, but she does try to walk up the bottom of the dutch stall door and climb the pipe fencing in the corral. If I lock her out of the corral she runs the fence line full speed and it's only a matter of time til she tries to jump. I'm looking for some other threads about this. Thanks again.

This may be one of the most common problems discussed on Horseadvice, besides Holly's discussion above you will find a number of discussions at, Training Horses » Behavioral Problems » Separation Anxiety.

I liked the advice of the person who said they removed the "buddy" just before they fed each time. It didn't take long for the stomach to win out over the brain (or lack of one). Shortly the horse was running to its feed tub as soon as the other left.

I went out and read several discussions. I think I'm going to try moving the QH a little further away and for a little longer each time. Hopefully she will become more secure being left alone for longer periods of time.
