SEDONA has one bad habit ...... everytime you go to cinch her up she 
"snap, snap, snaps" ..... Sometimes she turns her head towards you and SNAPS 
...... sometimes she simply keeps her head forward but still the "snap, snap, 
snap" of her teeth.
    NOW, what I have been doing is smacking her on her shoulder when she 
snaps at me ...... the loud POPPING noise is loud -- just that ...... doesn't 
really hurt her but gets her attention -- from that point she will keep her 
head perfectly straight forward but will still "snap, snap" from time to 
me.
    I knew she did this when I bought her -- the gal I bought her form told 
me that SEDONA started doing this when a trainer started cinching her up 
REALLY TIGHT (Now, *I* don't cinch up tight -- just enough to keep things 
straight -- but I suppose it's become a bad habit now)
    Anyone else ever have a horse do this??  How do I break her from doing 
it. Personally, I don't care ..... and I was told that SEDONA does NOT bite - 
never has ...... HOWEVER, it DOES worry me that she MIGHT bite with all this 
"snapping" she's doing .... HELP!!  Anyone have a solution??
    OH, she does NOT snap after she's all tacked up - after everything is on 
she's perfect ..... whatcha' all think??
