'marshall the mustang'

terri (1) from florida -

I have a question not a message.I just adopted 2 geldings 12 & 16 2 weeks ago.The older one has been rode since the day he was delivered to us he's a little hard headed but that can be fixed with no problem.Marshall hmmmmm he's a different story.We were told that he is broke to ride but needs someone with experience to let him know who's the boss.I had him in the pasture next to us because when my daughters would catch their horses he would charge them so now we are pretty scared of him at 14.2hh.He has short man syndrome.I have a trainer coming tommorrow so that I can see just how broke he is.If I try and ride him now without seeing someone else on him I'll be to nervous and end up on the ground.after he throughs me.He doesnt respect humans he was walking in front of me yesterday when I had to move him into our paddock and he runs right in between u and what ever horse u have.No manners at all.I am optimistic that he will regain his manners and respect for us if we keep him.I am having the trainer evaluate him to see if those very bad things he does can be work out with love and bonding/riding him.If u all have an insight please let me know...Thanks

This horse definitly needs a trainer. it sounds like he has some very bad habbits. Do you know how long ago he was gelded. he almost sounds like an unhappy stallion. if you cannot handle him he needs to go to someone who can. do not put your kids or yourself in danger. listen to the trainers advice.
