I have consistently seen that when biting occurs in a pair, that the biter
is the lower status, less dominant, horse. I have heard of exceptions to
this, but in my own experience, it has always been the same. I am curious
to hear what others on this list have seen. It always has seemed like,
"Wow, this is my chance to bite, because we are in harness, and he/she can't
get me!" Who knows what really goes on in their minds?
Maybe I have had an exception. I tried a gelding with a stallion years ago,
and the stallion was the biter (made the gelding very, very nervous). But
this might be more a stallion behavior issue. Otherwise is has always been
the timid horse that has done the biting.
