not cows and not always kicking, but the horses can get a little pushy if they think you'll let them. If you want to "train" anything, there is one basic formula...
any action needs an immediate (quick as you can bat an eye) reaction.
You are proving the point because you are telling us how they have trained you.
Carry a buggy whim or prod and as soon as one starts to kick, give it a good sting (not a love tap) across that hip. Won't take long. Horses know that there is 3ft of space that they don't come in with me unless I close it myself. If they forget, they get whatever I have in my hand on the part that invaded the space. Bein a nice guy got me two real good and nasty bites from the stallion and gets an adjustment just for laying an ear back when near someone. New stallion watches the old one and learns from his mistakes :roll: . Result is a real good relationship with an occassional adjustment when they forget.
Babies get the same treatment (scaled to fit) from day 1 cause little hooves hurt just as bad as biguns.....
