How to Train a Horse Not to Kick - www.thinklikeahorse.org - Rick Gore Horsemanship

http://www.thinklikeahorse.org/index.html
This is another title that was searched a lot. By showing a horse you are higher in the pecking order and putting pressure on a horse that kicks, you show the horse that kicking is acceptable. If you prevent a horse from learning how to kick, you will not need to teach him not to kick. Sacking out helps desensitize the horse to not reacting to things that may scare him. www.thinklikeahorse.org

But you forgot about horses that are just plain bitchy! Like mares! Handling won't fix a bad tempered horse.

@MadameRuusu : You better get your big girl britches on talking that crap on this channel. There are no horse problems only people problems. If you think mares are bitchy then you don't get it and obviously have not watched my videos enough to learn anything. If I was horse handled by most idiots in the horse world today I would be bitchy too.

I have a horse that has been trying to kick me and bite me in the pasture but once he gets inside hes perfect, when i take him out hes fine its just bringing him up... is it because he doesn't want to come in? or something else??

[jumpoffcontends]

@jessep500 , He probably holds a dominant position in his herd. Get after him, and show he cannot do that or else he may get a smack on the but on a quick smack to the nose will do. NOT HARD just enough to prove a point.

@jumpoffcontends : you have been blocked for giving advice and passing yourself off as a 15 year old horse trainer.

@jessep500 :Be careful of asking for advice, lots of people that don't know crap will give it and it will get you and your horse in trouble. the girl that gave you an answer is 15 years old and has no business telling people she is a horse trainer and should not be giving advice. I have blocked her, but if you listen to anybody that tells you they know you set yourself and your horse up to fail.

@horseygrl911 : sure there is, he will stop biting if he gets pressure when he bites, if he just has people running away and feeling sorry or him or making excuses for him since he has cancer then he will keep biting since it works and it gets people to leave him alone. This is not a horse or cancer issue, it is a PEOPLE issue.

@DedicatedRider216 i think (and im definitely not a certified horse trainer) that a horse is a horse in the field and they are reacting naturally to other horses. rick might have a video though if she does it while being schooled or anywhere not in the field. im going to go search for some kicking videos right now.

about the licking thing(if u have a vid already i dont know- just found you!) but my horse also likes to lick. she didnt like our new farrier & acted up but settled down as soon as i held out my palm & let her lick it the whole time. its like i'm her pacifier, but i keep hearing horses will eventually start nipping. my horse is 4 now & not nippy..but there was a couple of occasions where she lunged/snapped at strangers. not enough room here to explain everything :(

[Dogote82]

not asking advice - but one thing my horse has is attitude lol we got her as a 5 month old baby. the guy was afraid of her. 2 months later my mom spooked the filly and she cow kicked her in the thigh& got away with it. since then my horse will bully my mom. (i'm the boss of the animals and my horse knows it BUT) at feeding time she isnt allowed to crowd u. i point left and she goes away to wait for food. no food til she is still. sometimes she gets mad, pins ears, squeals, and kicks out.

I want your horse, Rick!

@Peanut7602 horses sometimes will buck when turned loose due to excitement. I'm not a horse trainer, though I have worked and volunteered at stables, so I have seen this numerous times. The only time you should really be worried is if he deliberately does it when you, or someone else, get close to him. Otherwise he's just having a bit of fun.

One of my friends horses is a total brat. I take care of this horse for them, meaning brushing, feeding, etc. I don't ride her because she has been broke, but they didn't ride her for years and shes pretty much forgotten everything. She kicks at me when I do anything to her belly. Also when I turn her out in the pasture after brushing, as soon as I unbuckle the halter she starts jerking her head around and won't even let me get it off her nose before she takes off, then she runs and kicks at me.
