Any farm owners out there??? Aggressive animal question.....

[tweekie]

I have a Nubien goat that won't stop bucking my miniature horse. Any input on how to stop the behavior short of fencing off a seperate area?

Actually,Nubians have an aggressive nature, however I would guess the horse will eventually get tired of this behavior and kick the *bleep* out of the goat.

The goat will get the message.

Sounds to me like the goat if trying to establish some sort of authority/superiority over the horse/yard.
Is the goat a male or a female?  Sometimes does act 'buckish' if they have cystic ovaries but that is accompanied by other behaviors.

I agree with him.  Even the most gentle horse will get fed up, and that will most likely be the end of that.  I would just keep my eyes on them untill then

Nubians are agressive.  We had one "visiting" for a couple of weeks til we found the owner - it was a billy and very stinky.  It went after my 150# dog....well they spent some time butting each other until we noticed and called the dog off.  I think they will butt anything that moves toward them.  Segregation is about your only bet.
