How to Deal With the Horse Pasture Bully

may have no other choice but to keep the bully separated. Build an extra paddock or perhaps section off a portion of a field with an electric fence. Or you can try changing the members of the herd around so that the bully is pastured with a more dominant but confident horse that will keep it in line.
Ensure your paddocks arent overcrowded your horses have enough to eat and they are not bored and standing around looking for something to do. Frequent exercise may also help your pasture bully expend pentup energy.
Sometimes battles happen over food. If this is the case try adding an extra pile of food so when the bully chases someone from theirs there is another pile to eat. Space the piles of food or buckets far apart so the bully has farther to run and the victims have more time to get away.
If a bully is shredding turn out blankets a bitter nochew spray might help. It might dissuade some horses. Be sure to check blankets often. A badly ripped blanket can become a hazard if the horse becomes entangled in it.
If the bully or a group of bullies is only chasing one horse it might be best to keep that horse separated. Sometimes horses will pick on one horse so much that they lose weight and get injured often. If the bully or bullies are shod this can increase the chances of a serious injury to other horses. Its important not to put very young small or elderly horses that might not be able to get away quickly out with a pasture bully.
