[QUOTE="WarriorPatriot, post: 587926, member: 2235"] Spinandslide's got it. If she bites while you're riding too, boot her in the nose until she gets the hint. We've had to fix a horse or two like that when they try for the upper hand. Same with the bucking and crowhopping issue, if a horse is turned around head to butt, they can't do much. We turn that head around and squeeze and pulse them. Also, what seems to get the horses, is the same with noise diversion with dogs. A sharp fast "at! at! at!" or "uht uht uht!" when they do something bad to back it up with the verbal. If I'm tacking and my one horse turns around and tries to "help" I just make those noises at him he thinks twice about it. Biting too, with a smack for other things. Got a bruise on my arm now from our mare I didn't catch fast enough. If you think she's going to pull something funny when you ride her,(you said you rode years ago? have someone out to help you on the ground if you can't handle what she may be acting out at the time. They also get some good respect and know personal space if you're on ground and you start waving a rope at them getting them to back up a lot and yield to you. The horses lower in the herd yield to the lead horse, when she moves for you you're making more progress. [/QUOTE]
