If you are quick enough, you can pinch his top lip. Also, you can flick him on the nose. Some people slap their horses, but this can turn bad fast because the horse will become headshy. I do slap my horse if it is really a bite. Some times they just nip but I got bit on the chest and a it was bleeding and he got a slap. A lot of people kick their horses in the stomice for biting. Don't do that. I have seen people get kicked back.

EzraWhen a horse bites you, it is important to address the behavior immediately to prevent it from becoming a habit. You can discourage biting by making a sharp noise, like saying "no" firmly or using a spray bottle with water, and then redirecting the horse's attention to a positive behavior such as giving them a treat. It is also a good idea to evaluate the horse's environment and training to make sure their needs are being met to prevent any potential underlying causes of the biting behavior.
If a horse bites you say "No" very firmly and maybe give it a little tap on the shoulder to tell him that it hurt. If this happens again, keep saying "No" but each time you do give the horse a ahrder tap on the shoulder.
Hope this helps for you and your pony/horse

First of all, if you're a child, your should NOT be in a stable alone, especially with a vicous horse. If you're not a child, (but judging from your grammar I'm guessing you are.) just climb over the top of the stall-OR- if the horse belongs to you and he normally doesn't act this way, give him a good smack on the nose (which is NOT cruel, all it does is get his attention. Trust me, I went to Vet. school.) and give him a firm "No!" If he continues his vicous behavior, have your vet come give him a check up.

What is it called when a horse bites wood and sucks in air?
When a horse bites the wood in a stall it is called "cribbing". There is a number of products that can be purchased to stop a horse from doing this. The product can be spayed on or rubbed on. It is also a good ideal to have something in the stall for the horse to play with so he/she will not be bored. A view of the outside also keeps a horse from getting too bored.
