[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 846820, member: 16453"] A trick I used to use years ago with young thoroughbreds, especially when cleaning out the stables, was I made up a Knuckleduster. It was a piece of leather looped around to go over my knuckle. It had numerous large sharp staples in (U nails) driven through it so it was smooth on inside, very sharp and prickly on outside. When being pestered by a young horse my left hand would just be placed in the way of their muzzle to feel the effects of the sharp spikes. It was very effective, they soon got the idea, but best of all I did not have to make any aggressive move towards the horse, they inflicted the pain on themselves, the only movement was passively putting the hand in their way, they did not get punch drunk. I have not read all the replies to this thread, I apologise if it has been suggested before. Ken [/QUOTE]
