I know what you mean about the biting. Our experience with horses has always been with adult horses. In fact the mother of our "biter" is so gentle and loving. She only ever bit me once, and I know it was by total accident since I was holding carrots. I turned to brush her son away since he was trying to bite me and she went to get a carrot and accidentally got my finger instead. She let go when she realized she had my finger tho. Her colt is a whole nother story. He is so loveable, but the orneriest cuss you ever did see. I wouldn't let this ruin you on horses or even this particular horse, and I wouldn't get rid of her, but if possible I would try to get help in training her. We are going to have to get help with ours. We have tried every trick in the book. Absolutely nothing has worked on him. I do believe his is definitely a dominance thing. He also as soon as he got taller than me, I am only 5'3", got more aggressive towards me. So we need the help of a good trainer too. We just can't afford it right now. @ Rebekah Thompson ……..
