I agree with what you did. I use the 3 second rule myself that John Lyons wrote about.
At our last show I was turned toward our stall and got bit on the back of the leg. I didn't even look, I slapped the horse that bit me thinking it was my daughter holding one of ours and was going for the treats in my pocket. NOPE it was someone elses horse. I apologized but it HURT and the horse didn't try to reach out and bite me again.
Manners are a very important lesson. I instill them at a early age.
We had a 2 yr old QH 16 hands we purchased. NO MANNERS. Would try to bite your arm, leg, face or whatever was available off. About 2 lessons of the 3 second rule of me "killing him" and that was the end of that.
VERY pretty boy!!!
