Anything to apply to horse to stop other horses biting him?

[sisu27]

At first I felt sorry for him...poor ottb with poor social skills getting beat-up:cry: Nope, he is a $hit disturber of grand proportions:winkgrin:

He isn't nasty just plays really hard and is a mass of bites and scrapes. I have been slathering on Corona but it is getting ridiculous...a new wound every day. His blankets are destroyed and once blanket season is over I'm sure the rest of his coat will be too. He is going to look horrible once he sheds.

Has anyone found anything that you can apply to the horses coat that will deter other horses from biting it? I thought about Raplast but I'm not sure if you can put that on the animal. Any help would be appreciated.

I bet you don't like boxing and football either. :lol:

Au contraire...I love UFC and Hockey.

GO HABS GO!!!

I just hate showing a horse that looks like he just came out of a slaughter pen.

Its perfume smells so bad, it repels bad horses, and it tastes awful. Bonus is bugs don't like it either.

You can find it cheaper on ebay and at thrift shops too.

I call it "mean mare repellent"

I knew a COTHer would have the answer! Thank you!

You can use a free-to-graze muzzle. It won't inhibit eating or drinking.

I'm pretty sure that the other owners would object when they showed up and found all their horses muzzled!

McNasty Anti-Chewing Spray

You can spray that right on the horses coat?

A fellow boarder is having the same problem. I suggested spraying Bitter Apple on the bitten-up horse (it's from playing, not aggression). Might work! Might try a test spot first or just spray it on the blanket and see if it deters biting on the nearby skin.

a pellet gun for the offending horse :lol: j/k! I would never! I've thought about it though. But this is for an aggressive horse in the same pasture as my passive guy.

I used to spray McNasty on my old pony's tail and rump area, because her evil paddock mate liked to trap her in one of the stalls and bite her rump and pull hair out of her tail. She was crippled and couldn't defend herself very well. After the McNasty went on, the biting stopped (as long as I reapplied it regularly). It is fine to apply it on the coat , at least I never saw any bad reactions from it (I just wouldn't spray it anywhere near the face). Also, um, don't have your mouth open or anything while you spray it. It really is very nasty. I found out why that mean horse made horrible faces at me when she saw that bottle come out!

I'm with the McNasty as well. I use it on my cribbers stall door with a paint brush. I can't imagine spraying it though. Taking a whiff over the top of the bottle will make you gag and send you into a coughing fit. It's basically pepper spray. Be careful!

I used a really good Kensington textilene fly sheet to protect my horses from my "land shark." I put it over blankets and it works great in the summer too! ;-)
