Stoping A Foal From Biting

how do you stop a foal from biting? Answer: Take your middle finger & your thumb and every time he/she indicates that is what the next plan of action is going to be, flic him/her hard on the side of the lips and sharply & authoratively "shout" NO! It takes repetious actions while they are small. If you have long nails, you can "poke" as you give/say the command in the same tender area near the lips. Don´t let it continue, and EVERY time it happens, do the above, and after a FEW months, he/she will get the hint, as other horses will tell him/her "NO!" too! Nothing worse than an adult horse that has been left to "nip"! Stop by http://communities.msn.com/goodgofarm Bye, Best, Mary
