@BBONK95 for one if the horse is moving around and stamping its foot it needs to be corrected and needs to learn to stand patiently. BTW if you let your horse get away with that it can lead to bucking biting and rearing so you get your facts straight because whoever said this horse needs dicipline was right. if you really new anything about horses then ou would correct you horse for doing that to

@b0z123 First, learn how to spell. The horse is disciplined, Just because its pawing it doesn’t mean its not good. Pawing is when they are bored or want to roll like TheStormrider98 said. Some horses can be grumpy! Its a part of life!. Did you see the horse biting? NO! Did you see the horse bucking? NO! Did you see the horse rear? NO! Get your facts right before making remarks!

when I take off the halter I just put it around the nech and hook it like you would normally around the head that way you know for sure that they wont run off. never use your hand unless the horse is well trained and will stand with out being tied up.

mares can be very moody it doesnt necissarily mean they are badly trained,the mare i ride can be very moody but she does settle down after a little while.

@cylindermatch Hitting your horse when he goes to bite you is ok. It teaches them to not bite the rider. If the horse kicks you, you knee them in the gut not to hard but hard enough to feel it. It’s not wrong unless you abuse the horse for no reason. It’s just bite for a bite and kick for a kick. It’s just teaching the horse to not do something that could injure you.
