I doubt its possible to teach mares not to kick. [...] I have been around
that mare for a couple of years and she is not
known for kicking or agressive behavior....She' s just a horse and that's
what horses do.
Any horse has the potential to kick. However, some are habitual kickers and
that bad habit *can* be broken, just like other bad habits can be corrected
if someone has the knowledge, time and patience to address the issue.
