how would you deal with...?

[Jools1234]

seeing how different people have different ways of doing things on here and that many can be very judgemental (me too on occasion) on here at times i wondered what you would do;

to teach a horse that bolts off when leading and kicks out once it has its shoulders past you in order to retrain it ?

to teach a biter not to bite or a kicker not to kick?

stop something from bucking/rearing?

teach something that rears and strikes out at whoever is leading it not to do it?

to teach something non responsive to go forward from the leg?

in this instance we shall all is well physically, tack fits and the horse is not acting out of fear

Hypothetically speaking if a horse did all of this I'd find a bullet might be helpful

Love it.

Pmsl at the wife!
I would post on papa fritas 'roll up, roll up thread'.
Seriously, I'd look at the bigger picture rather than tackle them as individual problems. Basically comes down to why the horse has no respect for you. Once a horse respects you it may try it on a few times or have hard to break habits, but its mainly down to leadership.

I was about to reach for my tin hat... Glad its been taken in good humour though, as intended.

Actually, scrap my previous reply. I would sell it. As a mothers dream/first ridden.

Bullet was the first word that popped into my head too.

Sorry OP, but if a horse displayed all these issues, I'd recommend the owner get help to find the root cause of the horse's distress. Sounds like an owner-made problem rather than a horse problem.

am grinning at the wifes reply

my original post was not clear as this is or these are hypothetical questions and are put as individual problems with individual horses i was just curious as people deal with things so differently

In this order...

Chifney

A smack

A smack and Chifney

Chifney

if none of the above work... Back to the bullet but I'm old school in a young body!

Do you not think wiggling a rope at it may help?
Ps, if you're not using it, can I borrow your tin hat please?

I suppose I could tell you on a forum for free.... but that wouldn't be good for the business, would it?
