It was only once or twice tho and she didnt let him get away with it so he got the message that she was dominant over him etc. I have noticed that he is now exploring things more with his lips than his teeth so that is an improvement but we arent waiting for him to proove us wrong!
LOL he's norty . He seemed to understand the whole associating the bite with the leg thing I personally think with Rumble it's not neccesarily a colt thing, all young horses will try it on, my little girl is trying it on big time, lucky her breeders won't tolerate it. Of course dropping 2 stone with Rumby will help big time
