Spirit has in the past 2 days gotten quite aggressive with his biting.
As you may kow we have just moved yards, 1st move for him for 2 years and it hasnt gone well atall. He is moving again in 10 days time as the people on the yard have been completely out of order (on other thread).
He has always been a nipper but only if I have been in the stable with him and not aggressively...more to amuse himself...although it still hurts when he gets me.
However the last 2 days he has really been going for me when im stood outside his stable to the point where he actually clamped down on my head last night. I am really having to dodge him and I can tell he means it. And it is over and over again...I ended up having to smack away his face away because he was stood with his head over the stable and wouldnt let me pass by snapping his teeth at my face. I have never smacked him before because of his past but it was actually dangerous for me and I put my face before a smack on the nose so no shooting me down for that please. He has never ever done this before and I am very worried that he is going to do it at his new yard.
At present yard he is in his own section and no-one has any reason to go near him but I suspect people have been going into him as my bag of carrots has been pinched and he has become REALLY headshy.
How can I curb this biting over the stable? He is fine when im in with him...
