I have a andalusian x australian riding pony, 2 year old gelding. And he is way out of control. The old owner said he floats well, doesn't bite nor kick, good with his feet, is respectful of fences, kind and good to tie up. This pony has turned out to be NONE of these things! i went to see the pony before i bought and he was these things but when i got home he totally changed! he is a nasty, nasty, NASTY pony. My mum has said maybe we should get rid of him... And im thinking i should because he has hurt me a few times and i don't want to be seriously injured by this pony! Should i get rid of him?
P.S to anyone thinking, we are not first time horse owners, my mum has had horses all her life and i have had many ponies and we have tried to teach him ground manners but he doesn't seem to respond. He is very ignorant.

Thanks :)

You should get rid of him. :(

If it's really that bad I think you should get rid of him. But maybe instead of trying to train him yourself maybe get an outside person in. He may just be acting up because it's a new environment.

I think you got some pretty good answers the LAST time you asked this same exact question. Did you not like any of them?

Yes, you need to get rid of him. The owner drugged him. My very first horse was a bum too. She wouldn't move forward when you got on her for the world, but she was peaches and cream at th owner's place. It's sad, but people drug their horses. It makes you a bit paroniod, but all the more wise. Good luck in selling him!

if you're leasing him, give him back to the owner. If you own him and think there's hope, hire a trainer.
