[QUOTE="flaboy-, post: 208786, member: 3688"] In my book there are two horses that require physical punishment. The two are - biters and kickers. My experience is neither of these is curable via being nice to them. Had stud years ago that took a chunk out of my shoulder. He got five knuckles in the nose several times after that and he never bit again. I currently have a filly that kicked and bit. Hard slaps on the nose was enough for her to soon decide she didn't want to bite anymore. Kicking was broken with a buggy whip to heals every time I saw her kick or prepare to kick. She squats now when I touch her on her rear. I have never heard of ANYONE breaking these two habits by being nice to their horse. Some say hobbles will break a kicker and maybe so but hobbles can permanently harm a horse where a little blasting on the heals doesn't. [/QUOTE]
