[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 124530, member: 539"] Alan has pretty much nailed it, but I would add a couple of cautions to what he has already posted: 1. Never hit a horse around the face with your palm. When he bites, backhand him. Otherwise you run the risk of making him headshy (so to speak), and when you try to pet him he may duck away as he doesn't know if you're going to pet or slap. 2. If he tries to bite again and you do have to backhand him, stay alert! Punishing him just might make him angry and he may try to bite again. I had a horse that was bad about biting. He would sometimes deliberately try to bite me when I disciplined him for biting. Good luck with your horse! [/QUOTE]
