Why would my trusted horse just bite meit hurts?

Answer 1

You may have come across an uncomfortable or sore area and your horse is letting you know he's in pain, because you touched a sensitive spot. That, or if you were tightening the girth, he/she was getting girthy and snappy. That behaviour should be discouraged - once saddle fit has been checked. If it was over the door, if you hand feed your horse, this can lead a horse to developing the biting habit - they look for treats and bite you, mostly by accident, but this must also be discouraged, primarily by not hand-feeding your horse at any time. You'd need to give more information to find out if the bite was from bad manners, pain, or any other kind of reason. I was only standing beside her and she reached down a bit the ever living crap outta my leg.

Answer 2

There could be various reasons why your trusted horse bit you, such as feeling threatened, in pain, or asserting dominance. It's important to observe their body language and behavior to better understand the cause and address any issues to prevent future biting incidents. Consulting with a professional trainer or veterinarian can also provide valuable insights and guidance.
