Okay, I get the whole thing of being the top horse so too speak. First thing I don't have a stable or a round pen. When I got this horse I had nothing and in one day we fenced off enough space for him to live. Our yard was about 3 acres. So he got about 1 1/2 acre. its not all green grass. But its something way better than where he was. And at least at my house he does get food and water everyday now. Here what I'm getting at. Before I sent him too the trainer for 2 weeks. He nipped alittle, but not very often. Mostly when hungry or when we first started riding him and he didn't want too go. He's 3 yrs. old and we where the first to ride him or even mess with him. I took him got him use too having a saddle and lunged, long drive him, I sacked him out with old feed sacks and tarps. He will usually walk on anything I ask him too. Then a friend of mine talked me into sending him tto this trainer. Because I couldn't get him too lift his feet and then nipping problem and also loading into trailer ( don't have one) so she was going too get him use too one there and I also wanted him too get use too other horses.And learn some matters around them, since he hadn't been around a horse since he was about 1 1/2 years old

After a week there, I went too see him ( and then almost everyday after) when I got there he was in a field by himself. He and her stallion had got into a fight ( he lost) he had a few bites and scrapes (they weren't in the same field) the fight happen over the fence. Any way I spent 2 hours with him in the field petting him and rubbing in neck and legs, trying to get him too lift is leg. He never once acted like he wanted to bite. Then at the end of the 2nd week when I went too get him. he was in a round pen waiting on me. And thats when he started nipping again. Only more aggressive, tried to ride him and he wouldn't listen, she had been riding him. He actually scared me, he tried to buck me off.
And now some personal things have come up so haven't been back on him. But I go out everyday and feed him. And make him back away from his feed ben. this weekend I'm going to try and work with him, even if I don't get on him. Sorry its so long. but I just didn't think i could go thru the hole thing in a short format. Thanks for all the insight
