He grabs his reins when i ride, nips my boots when i try and turn him, chews lead ropes and cross tieswhen i tie him up and nips at other horses when we ride. He has even pulled fly masks and tail bags off of the other horses in the pens around him and torn them up. I don't give him anything by hand and he was cut when he was 8 months old. He will occasionly nip at me, but that has decreased with age since he is in full training now. I am worried about him getting hurt more than anything (he grabbed the cord for my clippers while i was clipping him today). Although the chewed lead ropes and broken water pipes from pulled waterhoses is very annoying. I have put every product i can find on his equipment to try and discourage this habit, but he licks everything off. If you have any suggestions, PLEASE HELP!! This is his ONLY bad habit, he is wonderful to ride and has a very quick mind and picks up on everything asked of him immediatly, and there is no way i will be getting rid of him.
