Flipo bit me tonight. Totally by accident. I was giving him a treat and somehow the jaws of doom ended up closing around my index finger. There was that moment of 'wholly crap is he going to snap it' and I was strangely mute until he wasn't forthcoming and I managed to stick my thumb in the corner of his mouth to get him to release.
Anyway, it got me thinking. I never see anyone comment on here about biting as a vice. Is it common? My mate's horse is pretty bad for nipping folk, my wee highland was very mouthy and you couldn't treat him at all, but does anyone have this problem, and what do they do to sort it. I remember reading in some children's book about the man who baked a potato and then tied it to his arm so that the horse bit into the mushiness and obviously didn't like the experience.
