[QUOTE="chippie, post: 795009, member: 5644"] As a previous poster said, it is not a trust issue but a Respect issue. There is a honey moon period after getting a new horse. It can last as long as over a month or it can last only a couple of weeks. During this time, the horse is usually on good behavior until it feels secure and comfortable in it's surroundings and you. Once that happens, the horse's true nature will come out. Namely if the horse has any vices, you'll find out about them. With discipline comes respect and affection. I'm not saying that you beat your horse, but you should discipline it. You can't baby one into liking you. Also having the horse's respect on the ground is very important, because if it does not respect you on the ground, it won't respect you when you are riding it. On the other hand, your saddle may not fit right I'm not saying that it is OK for the horse to bite you to let you know that the saddle hurts, but that may have instigated it. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
