I taught Storm not to kick at passing horses using this technique.
I knew it was only his fear of them attacking him, anddidn’t
want to attack him myself, so this technique worked perfectly.

When you have a horse that kicks, you teach your horse it is not acceptable,

go by on that side. It is really quite easy. I rode a horse for an owner who's horse kicked.
He had not learned this. I taught his horse, and then him. All you have to do
is turn the horse's nose toward the side on which the horse is passing, apply
pressure with your leg on that side, and bend the horse around your leg. It
makes it virtually impossible for the horse to kick at that point. When you
are consistent about this, the horse will expect it, and know you will not
allow it.
