Question
I have a miniature horse with major attitude problems like biting, kicking, bearing teeth at me when feeding or when I am handling him. What should I do?

Answer
He is being the dominant one, Just because he is small and cute dosent mean he gets away with murder, you need to show him some athority, when he misbehaves give him a stern growling, if you get no reaction then a slap on the tummy will make him stand up and pay attention, Don't give him treats out of your hands. He is just like a child, these things he is doing are just like a childs temper tantrum. You need to get on top of them so he learns they are not tolerated. Good luck.
