I'm sorry, I got carried away and didn't answer the question.

Simply , the answer is not to try to act like a stallion challenging your 
stallion for the right to be head honcho.  Don't use the signals that a 
challenging stallion uses.  Don't go for the legs.  Don't use pain.  Don't 
fight.  Don't be aggressive.  Don't respond to adrenaline.  Use brain 
cells, not hormones.

There is so much literature out there about this - and not just about 
horses!  Provoke a confrontation & you get agression back.  This is not new 
news!  Lif
