ANSWER: Hi Cory,
         I have a few questions for you so that I can hep you better. How old is your horse? How long have you owned him? When was the the last time you had his teeth done?

QUESTION: Well I recently bought him 3 months ago he uses a snaffle bit and I am having a vet do his teeth soon so I not sure when the owners did last but he is a good horse owner so im guessing recently before I bought him

Answer
Hi Cory,
         I would first get his teeth done. It sounds as though they might be hurting him.  Horses bite to play or assert their dominance. You can use one of several methods. You can slap him on the muzzle but it can not be too soft or hard.

You can also use a lead chain and when he bites you should snap it.
