I just got a new 2year old stud and my 2 year old mare(who has always been alone in her 10 acre pasture) wont leave him alone. She is pretty much attatched to his hip. I tried to ride her and she flipped out. I ended up having to let him follow her around, but she was to distracted to do any thing right!!!!!!!!!!!!! how do i get her used to being alone again after I just just let her have a pasture mate.

If you are riding this horse and letting a two year old stud follow than you need your head examined. Do you not see the extreme possibility of danger here? I can tell you that I knew a person who was killed this way. Thought her stud would never do anything like try to mount her mare while riding it. Guess what? It did and she died. Time to smarten up a bit I think. And about another answer never, never hit your horse. That is so wrong on so many levels. You want a horse to do things because he wants to do them for you and not because he's afraid of what you may do if he doesn't. There are several acceptable ways to train your horse and hitting is never one of them. When a horse does not do what you want it is because you have not been able to get him to understand what is wanted of him and not because he wants to disobey you. Never hit.

First and foremost, if you are letting a two year old stud follow a mare that you are riding, then you do not need a stud. This is the kind of "seen it on TV, must be true" thinking that will get you hurt or killed. And unless you are wanting to get into the breeding business (which may have already happened), you need to cut him before something happens. Studs really are not meant to stay in pastures, unless you have some really secure fencing. If he gets out on the road and causes a wreck, you are liable. I know that most people do not want to hear they are not capable of handling a stud horse, but most are not. It takes years to learn how to handle one correctly and even after that you never can let your guard down. Please geld him. Or buy a lot of life insurance.

Oooh..poor girl (the mare)...she sounds delighted to have company....try it slowly...taking him away for just a little bit at a time..Increase the length of the times when she starts getting more comfortable being without him...she'll eventually get used to the idea that he's not around but will come back. Kind of like teaching a child that when people go away, they'll be back. it may take some time, but she's been awfully lonely.

This might be hard to do, but you have to do it.
Hit her... And Hit her hard. It sounds really mean but you have to break her spirit again. You have to let her know fermly that you are the boss. Not her. Hit her. Thats all you need to know.
As a funny side note: She must have fallen in love with that Stud. hahah
Good luck
