Biting is a serious offense, and should be treated as such. If a horse attempts to bite or does bite, a punishment is generally warranted. After 3 seconds you must stop because the horse will think you are hurting him and not associate the punishment with the action. Above all, even if you choose not to use punishment in your training methods, do not reward your nipping or biting horse in any way. Message Forums .
