Older horses and ponies need a little extra care to ensure that they remain healthy and happy.

With the exception of some of the miniature breeds, they are bigger and stronger than their handlers. Many behavioural problems can be due to the fact that they have managed to 'get away with' minor misdemeanours and the problem grows from there. In other situations vices and 'bad behaviour' may be responses to boredom, stress environment or management practices. Genetics, i.e. breeding, may have a bearing in some cases.
