How is petpet today?

Yes...He has zero sense of personal space or body language. I have had to teach him everything. He is fear aggressive toward other horses because he doesn't speak.horse. at 7 1/2 he just went for his very first trail ride with horses he did not already know. He did well for the most part. he has to be in the rear even with horses he does know because he may randomly kick or bite and plus though he has zero personal space with people he does not want any other horses within 15 feet of him most of the time. On the trail he will bolt straight into the trees if too many strange horses show up. He's special in so many ways..
Petpet needed another wound that I did not see the first time night cleaned and repaired yesterday so I had to knock her put again and I've been keeping her sleepy because she removed some stitches. She ate a little baby food this morning but mostly she is sleeping. I'm worried but hoping for the best . The other wound was a puncture into her sinuses.
