<< I have seen it all with these dogs and I know the difference between all the types of bites they can do. I should hope horse people do, too.

My original post which started the lively conversation was in response to a question about a "mouthy, lippy" Fjord. Seems this horse's behavior had more to do with playfulness than aggression. You made an important point when you suggest all "bites" have different intentions. Proactive animal training is more about watching and waiting than reacting.
