(a bitty difficult to read, but I get the idea....)
John Lyons says that when a horse bites, you have THREE SECONDS to KILL
her/him. That is how dangerous a biting horse is. Very important - the
head is off limits. (Kill him, don't blind him!) After three seconds,
you must pet him gently, to reassure him that you still like him (even
though you're still ready to kill him). He will know he has made a
serious mistake. Three seconds is not much time, but give it a try!
