He is nipping at other parts of my body not just my hands, he wants to nip my shirt from the back while I am cleaning the area. His area is huge and he is the only horse I have. I think this might be a problem. I am now the toy. He wants to pinch a thigh or what ever. He is not being mean, I think he is trying to play. He shakes his head and does a little dance also when I talk sweet to him. Maybe not so much teeth it is lips sort of, but I know this leads to teeth. He lost his stall mate when I sold my QH that got huge. They played all the time. He cried for weeks for him and I had to go sit with him so that he would not feel alone. Now I am it. My other horse has been gone a month or so now. I have a filly coming but she won't be here until November or December possibly since my Champion girl is having pups. Also I know he is not proud cut I picked them up and away they went. He has allowed me to clean his sheath and never a problem before when he was a stallion. Not a problem now either. But I am always watching the mouth. How about a little lunge line and trainer works horse type thing? I probably over did the love and hugs a bit. But the difference in when he was a stallion I was pat and good boy and a scratch here and there but always mindful he was a stallion. Taking him for walks back then was a challenge he wanted to see all the mares in this country area. Now he is the pony I dreamed of as a kid. I wipe his eyes and nose and scratch him and give him back rubs after I sit on him or ride. I taught him what cookie meant. Sylvia
