Nancy - re-read this - you’re just looking for more reasons to excuse him, yet again. Stop it, or basically agree that you ‘deserved’...

Don’t feel bad Nancy. I would also want my horses to step back and not crowd me when I’ve got their buckets and often ask mine to. I...

Thanks - he is probably on a final written, but I have to take some responsibility. I've not had a horse like Ozzy before and I...

Sorry, I'm not making a lot of sense tonight. The routine is ask for step back, give feed, single pat on the neck, move away. We do it...

Sorry Nancykitt, I meant to say, so sorry this happened and hope you recover quickly I got bitten once in my lifetime, many years ago...

Apologies, I hadn't made things clear in my original post. I think dropping the feed and moving away will solve the problem. I'm just...
