edited March 2013 in Vent
Kind of a funny vent but it's driving me INSANE. <br>Lately, Romeo (my AQH for those of you who don't know him) has gotten into the habit of licking me like a dog when he greets me. It's not even like the 'bad' licking, he doesn't lip at me or nose me, he just licks me like a puppy haha<br>At first it was cute but now I find myself being COVERED in horse slobber whenever I'm around him for more than 5 minutes. I understand when he does it in the summer because I'm sweaty and taste like salt, but he's licking my hoodies, or my pant leg, not my skin. <br>I've tried to stop him because I don't want it to turn into nipping but he won't stop! I've even had to give him a couple good smacks. He backs away then comes right back up to me with his ears forward and licks me again. <br><br>Any suggestions on how to get him to stop? I love the kisses and all but it's getting a little weird lol

  • Suggestions? Lightly spray your clothes with a safe bitter spray that he doesn't like, just a little, before you see him. He'll learn that you don't taste good. xD If he starts up again anyway, especially if he gets into biting, put him to work every time he does it. Horses are smart, he'll figure it out...
    Goodbye old VP, hello disaster. xD
  • I am going to be the first to announce that that is a terrible idea! Bitter apple is the one and only thing us Americans have built well. It's water proof, so forget washing your clothes (or hands) to get it off. And it stays there for forever and a day. Pus, it taste worst than advertised. Unless you don't want to eat with your hands for three plus years, I suggest doing something else. Like shaking a can of pennies or moving away when he does it.

  • I never said she had to use any particular product. There are many usable substitutes that wont cause unwanted side effects, but will stop the horse from licking. That, AND I also made -another- suggestion. If she didn't like the first one, she could've gone for the second. ;)

  • Youre lucky hes just trying to lick you because when a dog does it it trends tp lead to ...worse ,not sure if its the same with horses though.
