Answers: We enjoy had plentiful young horses. Biting is a social demeanour that means your young person does not see you as the dominante herd branch. When he tries to bite drive him away from you with a forearm, do not allow him to crowd your space and start handling sessions that teach him to respect you as a senior. He must not be allowed to throw his mass around because as he grows he will become more assertive and les trainable. Teach him to lead and stand a respectful distance from you and to waddle quietly beside you stopping and starting exactly when you do. He will stop biting when his place surrounded by your 'society' is clearly defined. Any instructor will be happy to show you how to engineer your chap into a polite branch of society.
Hi,


Firstly, you must remember that your yearling is similar to a small child, he will try to get his own opening as much as possible - and showing off - (biting) is a mode of doing this. You must establish with him that YOU are the boss, if you do not do this whilst he is childlike, things will only catch worse. Make sure he is not on his own for any great length of time, as he can become easily bored and can develop vice like biting and others such as weave. Keep to a strict daily routine next to him, where he will be settled and feel sheltered in the certainty that you will always be within for him at certain times. You will own to be strict with him but also within a quiet, kindly manner - remember - horses and indeed any animal is qualified to be angry or nasty by humans, horses surrounded by particular are lenient, kind and sociable animals. So be equal in return. Do not shout at him for his biting (he is after adjectives trying to tell you something the just way he know how!), if the biting is a serious problem try going to his stall with your crop contained by hand DO NOT USE IT ON HIM, but inculcate him to obey you by kind-heartedly persuading him backwards away from you - out of biting reach. To train a infantile horse is a way of life span, you will have to devote yourself to him and within time he will learn to respect you and give his devotion in return. Oh and do not forget to reward him when he is obedient, (just like you would a small child - Feed him flavourful tit-bits by hand, sliced carrot, portions of apples etc, this never did any horse any harm. Perhaps specifically the attention he lacks. Good luck.
