Protective Pony?

No anger was intended in my last post.
It is hard to read tone from a typed response.
You came here asking to understand your mini’s behavior.
You were given advice, then posted a history of your experience with horses.
My point is:
With such an extensive history, understanding horse behavior should be included.
Your mini is behaving like a horse.
What else is left to understand?

Im 64, have raised national high point western pleasure horses, have held a trainers license from the Kentucky Racing Commission, exercised/trained/raced thoroughbreds for 5 years, raised a stakes winning colt and filly, showed national and state high point halter champions. I have probably owned and raised 30 horses in my lifetime. I promise, I have my horses quite under control.

It’s impossible to have horses under control when they are all loose in a field.

Whips in a group of horses arent a good idea.

[edit] The BEST thing to have if you are in a field full of horses is whip so you keep them out of your space.
