my horse has become a MAJOR bully. He used to just go along with the other horses but now he is beating them up. He runs them around and has cut 2 horses pretty badly. It's gotten to the point where we basically got kicked out of where we board and he has to be all alone in the pasture. The only horse that will take it is my 1 year old colt. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

There probably isn't a lot you can do to change your horse's behavior in the
pasture when he is with other horses.  For some reason, he has a need to
bully or be aggressive.  Is there feed involved when he does this?  Is he
trying to defend a mare?  The solution is probably what you are already
doing - putting him by himself or with only one other horse.
