[QUOTE="Dry Rot, post: 6738401, member: 4505"] We'd better keep this brief. Horses are not the flavour of the month on here!??? I have Highland ponies but soon after they are weaned, they will usually try a kick. The first time one did it, I instinctively kicked back. He never did it again. I now take a stick in with me and try to get them immediately they try it. That's usually enough. This year I fed through the gate as mentioned, getting them to put their heads into the collar to get the feed. Also, lots of stroking and scatching around the head until they just accept it. But Highlands are not usually difficult. I'm too old to try 'real' horses now but my first was an Anglo-Arab weaned colt swopped for a spaniel. I just treated him like a dog -- and it worked!
