My horse is cribbing, mostly after feeding and when eating hay. I read recently that this can be a digestive problem. He is currently being fed a high-fat/high-fiber 8% pellet alfalfa and timothy hay. Should I change his diet?

My question is about a horse/child relationship. We just got a mini horse for our son, who is three. They are about the same height. She is showing definite signs of dominance toward him—backing up to him, pinning him between her and the barn, and trying to kick. How do we establish that he is the dominant one?

I have a 1½-year-old Shetland pony and recently got a 3-year-old female miniature donkey. The pony has been gelded. I am having problems with the pony chasing and biting at the donkey whenever someone goes near her. He also doesn't share well when it comes to eating hay. Is this something that they will work out over time? They have been together for about three weeks.

We are building fenced paddocks of about 60 feet by 110 feet, with five on each side of a center alley. What is the minimum width for the alley? Do I need to make it large enough for a truck? (There is no need to deliver hay, but I wonder about vet vehicles if an animal founders.) Incidentally, this will serve horses and miniature Jersey cows.

My 16-year-old grey gelding has a golf-ball-sized knot under his tail. It doesn't seem to bother him, and he acts normal. Should I bother with trying to have that removed, and how serious is it?
