I have a gelding that nipped me about three times in
the upper arm while I was leading him. The first time that happened, I
turned to him with my hands on my hips and said in a stern voice, "That had
better have been a mistake!" The third, and hopefully the last time, I
"bit" him back. I immediately bit him on the side of his neck with my
fingers in a beak-like position, and I did it as hard as I could. I
didn't say anything this time, I just retaliated just like a horse would.
He never tried that again.
I am having a problem with a horse that has bitten
people several times when they are standing near her with their backs
turned and she is tied. She means business because her ears are back. I want
to wallop her in the face, but know I should not. By the time you
can get her untied and jerked around as punishment, the time frame for
punishment has about run out. I would like to hear from anyone with similar
past experiences. Thanks, Julie Suhr
