training and gentling of wild mustangs

[Lisalyn]

I have a 10 month old mustang . He's been with me for 2 1/2 months now, and we are making pretty good progress, He halters (a bit rough) , leads, ( no respect for boundries yet), and we are still working on the nipping, but I have trouble when handling his legs and feet. I'm trying to get to his feet, as they need some minor maintenance. Any ideas? New ideas for controlling the nipping are also most welcome.

Nipping in a 10-month old isn't exactly unexpected ;) but you might find Cherry Hill's articles on biting interesting:
