[QUOTE="Gale Seddon, post: 206847, member: 53"] Are you using a "stud chain" when you lead him (lead shank with chain from the snap on his halter to the rest of the lead)? This should be threaded from one side of the halter, under his chin, and snapped to the other side of the halter. A sharp yank on that, accompanied by "NO", when he thinks about biting will help train him. Kind of like a "choke chain" on a dog (a quick release type of thing). You have to watch as you lead him so you can anticipate when he's going to try and bite. We use these on jacks (male donkeys)...they can't be taken in a show-ring without one. It's a shame, but it sounds like he received no training as a youngster before the testosterone kicked in. Good luck with him. Hard enough to deal with hormones at any age, but especially when they've learned no manners before this stage. [/QUOTE]
