What
you can do.
If your horse has taken to pushing past
you every time you open the stall door or paddock
gate, be ready next time with a piece of plastic
pipe, a rolled up newspaper, or whip.
Shout "Get back" in your biggest
angriest sounding voice and wave your stick in his
face each time he attempts to barge. This should
break the habit over a week or so.
A slide rail or chain installed
across the stable door opening will stop him
barging out as soon as you open the door. Use the
same technique as above.
