"How do I start training? Also, the horse always tries to bite me"

 
 

Dear Keith...

Friday, March 10, 2006

Mr.Hosman, I have just purchased a 15 month old male horse and we are getting to know each other. I have several important questions...how do I start training? Is there a certain criteria I need to follow? Also the horse always tries to bite me when I am around him trying to feed him. Will the horse out grow his biting habit? I live in Pleasanton Texas and I watch John Lyons every chance I get I enjoy his programs. This horse is something I want to grow with and want to have a good partnership with. I feel and hope that we will both be going through learning stages together. Thank You for your help, time and Expertise Bob W
