"whack' em hard with a big enough piece of wood to make em see stars."
Words of a wise horsemen?  Doubt it.  And yes if this is a method I used

on

my horse, I am positive she would be head shy.  Positive!  Why would she

let

me touch her head when there is a big "knot" on it.  I sure she would be
reluctant.  Just as reluctant as I would be to pick up a big wooden stick
and hit her with it between the ears, leaving marks and knots.  When I
correct my own children I never EVER leave a mark of any kind, I agree a
smack on the hand is a good thing, but it is not the same as leaving a

lump

on the head.

   For God's sake,why the hell not? Rearing is incredibly

dangerous.Being

squeamish and reticent is not the same thing as being virtuous.How in

the

world do you think momma horse disciplines her baby? Barring brief

physical

violence,how many YEARS of new-age nonsense are going to be neccesary to
get that horse rideable? Whack 'em!hard,right between the ears,with a

big

enough piece of wood to make 'em see stars.Two of the best Field Trial
horses I remember were big skinny mares,owned by a guy from

Kentucky.Both

of 'em had a big round knot on the top of their heads.
