[QUOTE="gabz, post: 212220, member: 3865"] I agree with the others that say to geld him. You do not want those traits being passed to future generations. In the meantime, get a piece of PVC pipe - 18 -24" long - 1 1/2 -2" diameter or so. Thread your lead line through it. I put a big honking knot in the lead line about 3' up to keep the pvc pipe from going too far up the line. This will enable you to keep your distance from his mouth. Sometimes a length of pvc pipe can be used to smack them too... makes SUCH a noise... ;-) Put a clean halter on him and leave a length of lead (when he's standing with his head level, it should just reach the ground) attached. This is how you will get hold of him to attach the pipe lead to him, without putting your hands TOO close to his mouth. Anytime he bites or misbehaves, you MUST reprimand within 3 seconds. YELL LOUDLY - growl, kick him in the side or chest with a rounded toe boot or sneaker (or the side of your foot if you've got pointed boots on) Kicking and snarling is just like another horse would do, lean into or step towards him. For 3 seconds ACT LIKE you are going to KILL HIM. No more. (this goes for that filly that's kicking too) If necessary - carry a dressage whip with a popper on the end I like dressage whips - they are nearly 4' long... I'm short - makes me taller and gives me 6' long arms!! and snap his chest or hip if he misbehaves (if you snap his hip, be ready for him to jump forward.. that's why I prefer the chest - makes them go backwards). WHEN he is GOOD, rub his withers, back, shoulders, with the whip and praise him. When he's bad, snap him and growl at him. One more thing about stud horses. Don't pet their faces. Just Don't. If you want to "pet" a stud horse, give him pats and rubs on his shoulders or high neck. [/QUOTE]
