My gelding has come a long way in a short time with suggestions I have gotten from this site. Now I have another problem. When I am saddling my horse or trying to mount him he has started pushing into me and trying to get me up against the fence. I of course tried pushing him back with not a lot of luck because he is like 1000lbs and I'm not. So last time I was trying to mount him he did it and I just smacked his neck by his shoulder and he seamed suprised, but then when I tried to mount him again he pushed me against the fence again. I know this is very dangerous and I want to do something to make him stop. He is very aggressive, no biting, or kicking just pushing, but I'm afraid of getting hurt. I know people are against hitting animals but I don't know what else to do. Should I get a crop and hit him on the shoulder? Pinch him on his shoulder, acting like a bite from another horse? Elbow him in the shoulder? Wave my arms? HELP!!
