[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 206830, member: 539"] I would suggest you start establishing manners through ground work and every time he bites backhand him [b]immediately[/b]. Stay alert when you do, however, as some horses will bite in retaliation of the backhand. If you're not used to working with studs or don't have a lot of experience with them, I would also suggest castrating this one. At 2 years old, he won't lose all of his stud behaviour, but it will settle him down quite a bit. Just my thoughts. PS I forgot to add that you never, never want to slap him around the head open-handed as it has a good chance of making him head-shy - hence the backhand. [/QUOTE]
