Does anyone use Kicking chains? I am about ready to go out there with the cattle prod and give her some treatments...

This horse gets out, fed well and really is doing it for more attention.. I gave her the ball, and she really is not neglected..

It doesn't matter if she is rode all day or just a turn out, but it seems it is a habit.. like a territorial thing..

No body else really answers back.. grumpy old lady I think.

I have never used kicking chains.
Does the she only do it in the stall or does she do this when she is turned out also? If it is in the stall does it only happen at feeding time?

The only other things I could suggest is some type of hobbles, like breeding hobbles. They prevent a mare from kicking a stallion and might be a little safer than the chains. Or some other type of hobble system there are so many. If you are around her a lot when she does this I would also suggest a electric collar (Nicer than the cattle prod). A friend of mine used one on a horse that would pace the end of the run on the stall, creating a two foot hole in the ground in a day. With this you could stand out of sight and when the horse began pacing someone would hit the button. It took about a month but the horse quit pacing. Even after removing the collar he never started the pacing again.

Hope this helps.

I have been reading alot about those collars? How long have they been out? And I can see the issues of breaking a bad habit.

I know you were kidding about the cattle prod RPETRACEK, but the kicking chains have worked for a friend of mine.. when they figure out they can't kick.. after only about a week they usually stop.

And hobbles can be used also like P8ntcrazy said. And most of us have a set of those. IT sounds like she is just cranky and setting dominance if she gets worked enough and gets plenty of eats.

I would say try the chains or hobbles.

Cowboy dad, The collars have been out for a few years and are gaining popularity. They are being used mostly for cribbing and other such vices. My friend used his dogs collar, he raised and trained field trail dogs. He should have marketed it back then (10 years ago). I no how RPETRACEK feels The cattle prod has crossed my mind before (I knew you were joking). It just gets frustrating when they do things that can hurt themselves or others.

Must be a mare thing. I had one she was a little bit on the sensitive side so don't know if it will work for yours. I always try cheap first. Gallon jugs-milk,bleach,water... filled with something noisy[rocks]. Used baling twine, we all have that, tied at various lengths and distance from ground and each other, once she got over just going in the stall she only tried kicking a few times. Stopped completely even safe going to overnight shows and stableing next to horses she didn't know.
