Is a rising gelding really a gelding?
Today, while walking a relatively new gelding at our stable, we met a friend with his horse, also a gelding. The horses sniffed each other briefly and showed no further interest.
We then followed the same path for about 200 meters, me in front, my friend always trailing a bit behind. Then I wanted to go right at the next junction, my friend left. So we stood still for a moment and said our goodbyes – at that moment my gelding attacked his. The other horse reared up and tried to bite. Of course, I scolded him immediately. And the other gelding stayed cool. So did my friend. But to be honest, I was a bit stunned – I'd never experienced anything like that before.
Is the gelding perhaps not a gelding? Could such behavior indicate a Spitz/Klop stallion?

Yes
You can test the hormone status, but in principle you shouldn’t have horses on your hand and be sniffed. And the Wallach didn’t like anything, maybe he wanted you alone for himself, or he didn’t like the Wallach normal, because he just has another mare in the herd, which is rusty, you don’t know. In addition, Wallache also grabbed and play a lot, which sometimes looks dangerous and was not meant to bite so badly. But as I said, basically not bring the horses together by hand. They’re half a second with the hoove up so fast we can’t react to people.
The horses didn’t even touch each other, they looked at each other during the meeting and cleaned or inhaled briefly in the mutual direction, at about 1m distance. That was all. Doof, on my part, I just wanted to point out that we are not just passing the other horse, but have remained short with both horses.
The individual distance should be at least two meters some horses also want more distance. They could not smell My mare already shows at a distance of 10 meters what she holds from the strange Wallach. The next time you know more, can he want you alone and you were talking?
Well, maybe not in love, but at least accepted so according to the motto, this is my little friend. Go away.
There’s something like that among horses that a bigger one shimmers the other way because it fell in love with a shetty.
Yeah, that can be quite. I’m actually no one who writes to the horses human behavior, but also my acquaintance said it actually looked a bit like the horse somehow meant to have to defend/shield me.
completely normal horse behavior.
Your horse “toxified” back, so even announced it.
then you do not say goodbye, but you go on quickly. you should have stopped the poison.
you did a lot of things wrong. giving the horse the debt is not fair.
you have the horse that has not yet settled and is still insecure faced with another horse that is alien to him. that there’s such a stress, you should have known.
you didn’t focus on the horse. because then this situation would not have arisen.
if foreign horses are sniffing, then usually one with the front hand extends out and there is a big queues. the other horse was sure of his thing and did not take care of himself. that didn’t fit the horse you hooked on.
you don’t need to control “hormone status”.
the horse has seen a possibility, or the necessity to consolidate its rank in the new group – it could not know that the foreign wallach does not belong to the group.
that would have been bad for you. a “real” in bad laune would have beaten you with the head to the side and would then have passed into the fighting mode.

Doof, on my part, I just wanted to point out that we are not just passing the other horse, but have remained short with both horses. What do you say I blame the horse? What do you say I didn’t stop the poisoning behind? I’m telling you in one thing that I wasn’t fully focused on the horse when I left. That’s right. Otherwise, the horse also knows the situation with other horses of tournaments and hikers.
The hormone status also has a different background. This horse shows very clear stallion behavior in many situations and that was now another one that indicates that this could be something that should not be there.
most of the wallache show male behavior and many are not “fearing”.
if you mean inferior when you mean steadfast…
already the veterinarian who carries out the castration is obliged to examine the “material” according to the op for completeness and to give notice if he has not “expected” everything.
Klopphengste are barely present, because the hottest are no longer barely cast annually, but later when the hodens are definitely in the hodensack.
Stallions are not more poisonous to Wallache than other horses. The horse is simply undressed. And it was a little clumsy to be sniffed by the hand.

It may be, but even horses do not like each other. Even if they don’t know each other. My pony, for example, doesn’t like any other horses / ponys at all. And my wallach who doesn’t like a mare from our stables at all when it comes to close, he immediately puts his ears and tries them to bite …
Could be of course, but also wallache may not like all the other horses and sometimes expose them in an extreme way. Can you tell the vet what he says about theory?
I’ve already experienced the behavior at Stuten, I wouldn’t type a stallion directly
No clue to Klopphengst.
However, I would really ask myself what I did wrong when MEIN horse rises, although a person hangs on the knit.
He wanted to attack the other Wallach. You said. So you didn’t do anything wrong, that’s an animal. If this happens more often that the one who gets on the hand, I hope that your knit is long enough and you can make it clear that you are the boss. Then he’s allowed to circle around you a little bit. And didn’t do that? This has nothing to do with hormones. Because a stallion can be held by hand.
I’m not the questioner and none of the horses I’m working with would dare.
A horse has to deal with his horse affairs when no people are standing next to it.
I didn’t hang on the rope, but I had it loosely in my hand. The matter didn’t even last 20 seconds. Even after that, I didn’t have to hang on the rope, but he just got behind me. And it’s nice that your horses seem to be always calm, good, left and that’s always been. You never had to educate them, they’ve already come to the world.
This has nothing to do with Klopphengst. Is Wallache not understanding with others
