I've used a grazing muzzle before on a gelding who was very aggressive to other horses in the paddock. He would bite chunks off their back, so the muzzle worked well especially when introducing new horses
My horse is a headshaker and someone once hit him for headshaking because they thought it was an attitude problem. Which of course it isn't. Many people seem to think 'this horse is making me nervous and so therefore it must be aggression'.
I think your right, I think just like you said get away with it and he thinks its play time but they took mistaken it for aggression which I haven't seen him aggressive. mikehughehorsetraining.vhx.tv
I realize this was a sample of a full session, but still would have been good to see a little more of what you actually Did. For example, was getting the muzzle on him a problem? At what point did you decide to go for it?
Good info Thank you for making people aware

Yes, Sometimes Aggression is misunderstood like with your horses and this horse. mikehugheshorsetraining.vhx.tv
Looks like someone has just allowed him to be a spoiled brat & probably fearful of him & he knows it so he takes advantage
