everytime I put my yearling colt in the run-in barn and a gate up to block the opening, he always goes to the gate and looks out to try to find the other horses. There is a bent chain-link fence beside the gate. When he can't find the other horses, he gets upset and tries to break the fence and gate down. He tosses his head and trots back and forth neighing. I've tried to just stand back adn let him just tire himself but when he tried to break the fence, I tried to lead him around in the barn. He ran in front of me and be4 I had time to move, he kicked me in my side. Can anyone tell me how I can settle my horse down and learn to forget about the other horses? I've tried leading him, feeding him, talking to him, and just letting him run til he was tired. I don't know what else to do.
Can anyone give me some tips to calm him down?
