Why is my horse biting me?

Horses are mouthy by nature…

They can be nipping and biting at you to try and communicate pain, to engage you in play or to tell you you are just generally doing something they don't like. Differentiating the why can be tricky, but if we teach them to lick when they are seeking connection instead of nip, they start to cover us in drool and that rules out one variable of the equation!!

Nippers to lickers is one of our emotional agility exercises in our Holistic Horse Handling Program, where we help horse riders build are stronger bond and a deeper connection so that they enjoy learning and ask to be ridden.

Enrolments close today, but if you miss the deadline you can register your interest for next round :)
