It depends on the level of dissobedience. If its minor (biting, pawing ect.) sharply tell him no and smack his muzzle lightly, dont hit him hard or beat him, just lightly. if its serious (kicking, bucking, bolting ect.) you should probably take the horse to a trainer to get him straitedned out. whatever you do, do not constantly hit your horse, no matter how lightly. this will just cause him to turn on you
What do horses die from most often?
The number one killer of horses is colic. It is a horse owners worst fear. Colic is a symptom, not a condition. It can be brought about by a countless number of things, such as a sudden change in diet, the wrong types or too much feed or treats, problems or obstructions in the intestinal tract. The list of causes is endless. Some of the symptoms of colic are rolling or thrashing on the ground, the horse constantly biting at its stomach, groaning, etc. A vet should be called immediately if a horse appears to be colicking.

How do you get a horse to stop pawing when the horse is in cross ties?
Horses that paw the ground, stomp their hooves, or kick their back legs are usually acting up because they are bored. To keep a horse busy, give them something to do such as a haynet to eat from. If you aren't interested in feeding your horse, try petting, grooming, or tacking it up so that the horse doesn't feel as if you are ignoring it. You can teach it a "stand" command to teach it to stand still. You could also reprimand them with a "no!" and a slap when they paw. If nothing else, you can hobble it. This would have a double effect. For one, it would stop the pawing problem, and for another, it would make the horse more submissive to you.
