Aggression Towards Other Animals

When horses are aggressive towards other animals: dogs, cats, goats, llamas, cows, sheep, pigs etc., it is usually bad news for the smaller animal unless they are quick enough to escape. In some of these cases, the horse initially is curious of the smaller animal and may follow it closely. The horse's size alone is enough to frighten many small animals so they try to run. This becomes a fun game of chase to the horse but a frantic life or death race for the smaller animal. In other cases a horse may have had a bad experience with an animal, usually a dog, and now they don't like them. For whatever the reason a horse has chosen to chase, strike or kick another animal, the results can be devastating. A beloved family pet can be lost or seriously wounded in an instant, while the human is helpless to intervene.

The ViceBreaker^® gives the owner the ability to correct the horse from a distance and quickly gets the point across to the horse that other animals are off limits.
