My 4yr old OTTB is acting aggressive for his grain. And I say acting because if I correct him or if I stand with him and pet him while he eats he’s totally fine and calm. But when I come in the stall he puts on a show that is impressive (ears pinned and head tossing) and when I walk away I can hear him pawing and sometimes kicking out while he eats. It has gotten a lot better since I’ve had him, only happens for his pm grain (totally fine in the am and for his hay). My trainer suggested that growing up on the track they may have fed the baby horses together to promote aggression which can translate to being more aggressive during races. Does anyone have any suggestions to help him find that calmness and security on his own? I don’t want him anxious about his grain. 🥲

I have just realised after looking at old photos how old my hat is!!! I haven’t fallen off in so long or I can’t remember any falls but my hat is 7 years old!! It’s definitely time for a new hat to ensure if worst does happen I have safe hat! I’m on fence about Samshield or kask What are your opinions or do you have any other hats you think are good xx

I hope it is ok to ask this here, what does it mean to get a post validated? I am still new here so working all this out and  what everything means and how to do it! So far I am loving the community! Apart from all my statues saying they are locked but I’m on level 4 😂  Thank you help would be highly appreciated ❤️

I’m looking for people opinions and thoughts on what colours would be best for my boy he is the brightest radiant bay, I usually have him in blues but would love to know people’s opinions!! ❤️

Anyone that sees alot of my post will notice that I usually post my daughter, that's because noone ever takes pictures of me (typical mom problems!) I also spoil my daughter with matching sets and new pads all the time and I think I'm due for something new! What colors do you think would be best on my chestnut gelding Cash?
