I don't believe in treating rescues any differently because good behaviour is a big part of what keeps them out of trouble and in a good home.<br /><br />I just need to learn what method of correcting him is suitable!

At the end of the day bad behavior from a horse is dangerous 99% of the time and therefore never ok. When Miracle came home, she had every excuse in the world for bad behavior. I still corrected her as I would any other horse. I'm sure a lot of the natural horsemanship people would be up in arms about that - "but she's a rescue!!" - but I still did not accept poor behavior from her and corrected her accordingly.
