[QUOTE="mustangkoda, post: 331275, member: 5485"] i agree with using the riding crop. keep it on hand. a two by four on a mini is too excesive. have to remember these are little guys! 2 X 4 can break something. i've found that a sharp voice or swift kick or a riding crop works wonders with a mini. now with a full size horse is somehthing different and you may have to be a little firmer with, but minis are "small". think large dog size and no i dont mean to compare a dog to a horse just the size. the most extreem we've been to a mini is fliping it like you would a calf, don't do this on a concret floor, and then sitting on her for a couple of minutes. she got the point, our black smith did this to her when she kept striking out and my nephew did also. now he can to what ever he wants with her. for some reason the smaller the horse the more agressive they think they have to be. we have seven on our property and a firm voice is normally all they need to behave. good luck with your stud. hopefully this is just a "learned" responce and not something he'll pass on to his offsprings.
