2 yo filly here I'm handling, she's always had an exploratory nibble. She's quiet, too quiet, no meanness, but grabs sleeves and shirts, when chastised she stops and almost apologises, but always does it again next meeting. No decent yard of any sort to work in, and no arena, and all considered she already knows a lot, and thanks to Warwick as I'd never studied this stuff, utilising a lot of what I'm seeing after a lifetime (I'm 71) of doing things the old bush way, with great success. I feel I can go no further with her as we are in the wrong environment, but I'm just a caretaker-tenant working under adverse conditions.

Just would like to add that it's not always a training issue. But it can be pain as to why a horse bites, especially when it's kept in a stall for hours without anything to do, including eating. A horse is a grazer. Feeding it 2x a day (the norm with stalled horses) causes ulcers. It's well known that most if not all stalled horses have a certain level of ulcers. And they will bite out of frustration and pain. Being cooped up for hours in a stall with nothing to do can cause horses to be sour. More turn out time. Slow feeders, maybe alfalfa (good for ulcers), can help a horse cope with being confined for too many hours. Or better yet, pasture. Pasture is the best.

I don't have to tie my horse to get him to stand still. I let him know I want him to wait there. He let's me know he's angry about being put into the stable instead of outside where he belongs but only with body language. There's no place I can't touch him. I can clip his bridle path loose in the paddock. Stands nicely for the vet or farrier. I can turn him loose and just ask him to stick around and graze nearby. No matter what goes on around him he will even if there are mares in season being led past. I saddled him for the first time without catching and haltering him. He loves to go to work and performs very energetically. I think I've trained him pretty well or at least he's learned he can trust me and we have great communication.

I have an even more specific question. My mare is hurt (wound) and mentally instable. She attacks me entering her box. Ears pinned, teeth showing, steps forward, then turns her bum towards me. How to correct without scaring her. After a lot of wound-care, bandageing, pain etc she HATES me. As soon as she sees me - ears pinned. Vet has given up on her due to aggressive behaviour. She will defend herself to death. Owned her for app 4 months before injury and we were working on issues of trust, respect and came a long way, then she got injured and now I can't do anything with her. Last time she threatened me, I had to defend myself with a broom. Did nothing but touch her on the bum to make her move it away from me, held it up high so she wouldn't launch against me and bite. Now I can't catch her in the stall. So need a balance to correct her, defend myself (stay safe) and the same time regain her trust.

Don't know if this will help since the post is 1 year ago but you can put her free in some small pasture and apply approach retreat method to get to her and to be able to touch her and then take care of her wounds. It worked great with my mare when I got her and she got wounded the same day and was aggressive when cared of.

I really love all your video's. I have a little problem too with my horse. I do groundwork with my horse (Sue) (almost) every day and I feel like we do all right, she moves when I asks, reacts good on a little bit of pressure and isn't afraid for me nor my tools. But lately she has been pulling faces to everyone except for me. And now it's getting worse. When the people of the barn bring the horses back to the stables, she doesn't want to be catched and they said she attacks them. When I just got Sue I sometimes had the same problem, but I fixed that a long time ago just by training with her. So when I go catch her she walkes/runs upto me and I have no problem at all with catching her. Can I do something about this, since it seems that it has to do with other people and not me, or am I thinking wrong?
@leealexander35075 жыл бұрын
I have the same problem but some of my friends are helping me teach him that most people are trustworthy. I haven't gotten to the point that I can go out of his sight and still have someone else handle him yet but I can stand a lot further away and he no longer tries to fight them or anything dangerous. My friends are also horse professionals or experienced horsemen or I wouldn't enlist their help.

Hi there, I have a question about biting....I have a Gypsy Vanner who is 17 months old. Just a baby really….An absolute gem so far with his training..but who does worry, yet tries so hard to do what you ask. But he did something today that surprised me, (kind-of - and I say kind of because he did it to a friend, not me, his owner) She had taken some fruit treats to the mini horse and he was there with her and she was also giving him some. I wasn't there at the time. Basically, while she was trying to give them both equal shares, he suddenly pinned his ears, slammed his head into her and bit her hard enough to break the skin. Now regarding food treats...I never give him treats, or even his own feed in his feeder bin, without asking him to back away from me. If I give him a hand treat, I ask him to back up and I will GO TO HIM with the treat. With his own feeder, as I take the bucket to his feeder, I have a small crop that I keep handy, and he is not allowed his feed until I've finished filling the feeder, I turn around - have him take a step back, and then I leave so he can eat. I am guessing, because my friend didn't have him respect her space bubble, and he was competing for treats with a mini horse (he normally has to compete with another gypsy mare ) that he took advantage and tried to bully her. (p.s. he was gelded at 13 months old 3 weeks before I got him if that means anything?) My mini was also a late gelded. But…Interestingly, later when thinking about it, I recall his very first inhand show a few weeks ago, as I was trotting him out in hand for a class, he took a dive to bite my hand also, but it was the hand I had my show cane in and I saw him the split second he did it, so he didn't connect as I swung my hand up with the crop so he just 'touched' my hand. Perhaps it was because the class before I had won a "big red " horse snacks prize and I knew he wanted one lol... but perhaps the other reason might be because he was not gelded until after he was expressing interest in mares could be a bit of stallion behaviour? I'm really not sure. . .. I would appreciate your thoughts? He's never bitten before...I was very surprised and shocked that he bit her so hard to break the skin...but would I be right in thinking he took advantage of her as she didn't ask him to step away as I have been? oh, and sometimes I will have treats for both the gypsy mare and him, and it's quite neat, I stand there with them, and I have a horse either side of me. Heads towards me and bums away. I also have a whip. with me they KNOW to wait. I barely move the whip and say back to one and he/she will back up, so then I step forward and give him/her the treat...then the next horse gets the same. They know with me, that is how it is done..but yeah...am I thinking correctly here?

MR puts on shows and it's way more about him than about the horse. By contrast, WS teaches the best of what is out there on horse (and rider) training, whether it was his idea or not. And he puts it all together better than anyone.

Occasionally he will pin his ears back and act like he is going to charge at me but with a quick tug on the cross tie he stop and just has his ears pinned back. I have been working with this horse but I was wondering if there are any exercises that you recommend or anything that I could do to help fix him.

You should to look into ulcers. It's a common issue with horses that are kept in stalls/paddocks/dry lots and are only fed 2x a day which means the horse which is a natural grazer, is forced to endure an empty stomach for too many hours. Look into slow feeders.

I have an arab mare who bites herself when I'm girthing up. Taking the girth off, I can tighten it and she doesnt even notice. She is very good about ground work, but I'm wondering if there's something I'm missing. She sometimes does it under saddle as well, when she gets very annoyed or angry, and doesn't want to go forward. Do you think this ground work, or basics would help find something else, and fix the biting herself?

@leealexander35076 жыл бұрын
Self injury such as biting themselves is usually a sign of pain or a high degree of stress. Whether your horse has ulcers or not I'd want to consider making some changes in her lifestyle. Maybe more turnout time, opportunities to socialize and a full hay net or slow feeder in the stall. Give some thought to what might be causing undue stress whether the vet finds ulcers or not. Ulcers tend to return or develop unless the cause, usually including stress, is eliminated or lessened.

First question though, does he get out in pasture?...if he is in a stall all the time you are just asking for a miserable, unbalanced horse, that can have all kinds of problems. I would make sure he gets plenty of turnout especially with other horses he gets along with. Plus there are some comments below about ulcers in horses stalled and as correctly put a lot of horses will bite because they have some physical problem, so would be good to rule that out with a vet.
