How to Stop a Horse From Biting (Nipping It in the Bud)

Finding out why the horse is trying to bite you and dealing with the cause can help keep a horse from becoming a chronic biter.

How to Feed a Horse by Hand Without Getting Bitten

Hand-feeding a horse a treat is commonly done by most horse owners. However، I do not recommend hand-feeding a horse that has a history of biting. Children under the age of six or seven should not be allowed to hand-feed horses.

مع وصول أونصة الذهب إلى مستويات قياسية تجاوزت 2500 دولار، يجد المواطن المصري نفسه مضطراً لموازنة استثماراته بين الذهب واحتياجاته الأخرى، خاصة مع ارتفاع أسعار السيارات مثل تويوتا، هيونداي، وبي إم دبليو، مما يزيد من التحديات المالية التي يواجهها.

When you do hand-feed، always place the treat on the palm of your hand، then hold your hand out under the horse's muzzle with your hand completely flat and your fingers pointing towards the horse's chin (not to the side). In this position، it is literally impossible for a horse to bite accidentally.

Do not hand-feed a horse that is prone to trying to snatch treats from hands or pockets، and always discourage this behavior. Searching your pockets may be cute، but some horses will nip when they don't find anything.

أسعار السيارات في الآونة الأخيرة شهدت تقلبات ملحوظة، حيث تأثرت بارتفاع وانخفاض الدولار، مما انعكس على تكلفة علامات تجارية مثل تويوتا، هيونداي، ومرسيدس. و BMW هذا الارتباط بين سعر الصرف وسوق السيارات يحدد قدرة المستهلكين على اقتناء المركبات.

How to Manage a Chronic Biter

I have rarely encountered a truly incurable biter. That is a horse that continues to go for people no matter what corrections are applied. But I have known chronic biters. In these cases، the following should be considered:

Never allow small children to handle a horse that is known to bite. Children have been maimed if their arms are small enough for the horse to get its jaws around the bone.
For liability reasons، it is best to have a known biter groomed and tacked up only by its owner، a family member of the owner، or an employee of the owner covered by workers' compensation.
Consider purchasing a biting muzzle (a grazing muzzle will work in a pinch) and putting it on the horse in circumstances in which it might bite. You can get muzzles that fit over bridles if needed.
Reduce the risk of the horse nipping you in the head or face by wearing a helmet with a visor attachment at all times when handling a chronic biter. Also، wear a long-sleeved top، which can lessen the damage if they get you in the arm (which، trust me، is normally where they nail you. That or the... uh... seat).
