A technique that really works with only a few tries is this: For a couple of days, keep a small, pointed object in your hand such as a nail, toothpick or pushpin. When the horse reaches to bite you, you hold out the sharp object and allow the horse to prick itself in the mouth. Do not stab at the horse! You want the horse to think that they did the damage to themself. It will keep them from getting headshy from being smacked. This really works. Remember, you're not out to stab the horse or cause a wound...you just want a little prick, like being stuck by a thorn or briar. Several times of this and they'll stop biting, guaranteed.

How do you stop a horse from biting another horse?

Unless the horse is pinning its ears, he/she is probaly just playing around. They probably just want the attention that the other horse(s) give them when they do playfully. To stop the biting, try a horse muzzler, sometimes called a grass stopper. They are comonly used on trail rides so that horses to not bend down to eat grass. However, use caution because the horse cannot drink with it on. Electro shock ring on the horses wither. Press a transmitter button when the violation occurs and after a few times the bad behavior will cease with no harm to the offending horse.


What is it called when a horse bites wood and sucks in air?

When a horse bites the wood in a stall it is called "cribbing". There is a number of products that can be purchased to stop a horse from doing this. The product can be spayed on or rubbed on. It is also a good ideal to have something in the stall for the horse to play with so he/she will not be bored. A view of the outside also keeps a horse from getting too bored.

How can you stop a horse from biting when you girth it?

This is easy. Show no fear. Give the horse a firm NO. Then if it keeps on with the behavior, you must back up your command with a firm smack. Right on the lips where they part. Against the teeth would be better. You need to make it an upward motion not a downward one. The horse should throw back its head. Keep this up until a stern NO will work. ---- Answer #2: A technique that really works with only a few tries is this: For a couple of days, when you're getting ready to saddle up, keep a small, pointed object in your hand such as a nail, toothpick or pushpin.
