Feeding A Horse With Food Aggression 

Sounds like you have them all sorted. Good job 😁

A lot of people think that spoiling kids and animals is kindness, but they are dead wrong! Firmness and reasonable limits are the kindest things of all. And the teaching of self discipline! A person or animal who can use self discipline, on their own and when it's needed, will be SO MUCH HAPPIER than someone who can't!

🙌.

The only ones who say that are the 1s who completely misunderstand what they are for. In fact a dressage whip or lunge whip would be pretty pathetic for whipping anything. I doubt you could hurt anyone or anything with it if you tried!

Of course, that's who I was aiming my comment at. @@cattymajiv

My neice recently brought a yearling she acquired from the barn where she previously boarded her horse. The mare died before her weanling was a month old. She was bottlefed & had no concept of personal space. When I bring hay out to paddock she has rushed in towards me. I avoided contact by sticking my elbow up so she ran into my elbow instead of my body. I plan to try your method with her. Will this cause her to have fear of lunge whip? I don't want to make her a fearful, flighty horse before she is even ready to be started. I put her in with my horses to help her learn from them. My lead horse is an awesome lead horse. He has already pushed her off when she moved in to his space too quickly. I also saw him defend her when my top mare tried to bite her. So I'm hoping he will help her learn what she would have learned from her mother had she lived.

same no hand feeding at all. He has his feed tubs and a treat tub. he has to back up and stay away until I say ok, just like my dogs!

I’m so glad you liked it. Thank you so much for letting me know. 😊

You are welcome 😊

I’m glad you found it helpful. 😀

I’m glad you found it helpful. Thank you for commenting 🙏🏻

Personally, I would keep pressure on until horse moved right to the back of stall and stood there before feeding. Then I would put feed just inside to the side.

YUP. And the OP is right. Even if the horse is perfect in every other way, that is a huge problem! Everyone's saftety is affected, including the horses!

@@cattymajiv I agree, but it's not my barn so I'm trying to help with basic horse training issues. I don't want anyone including the horses to be hurt.

We bring our horse in from the pasture and put them on ties (to trees). They each eat their bucket of food, and then are returned to the pasture. So, have feeding place and regular pasture be different places.

Hello 😊. Yes always leave my horses alone to eat their food.

@jenpecka6420 Oh dear girl, when I read you are taking your horse downhill while he was being pushy, it made me cringe. You are in a very dangerous situation doing that. It could alter your life forever if he decides to charge past you. Never think you can out power a horse. Never stand in front of a horse while on a lead with your back to him either. I made that dreadful " newbie" mistake & was knocked over by a 1800 lb percheron who spooked at a sudden gust of wind blowing tree limbs which made a noise. I ended up tumbling from the force of her bumping into me with one shoulder as she fled. My neck made awful cracking noises as I tumbled in a somersault & has hurt ever since. This lady is giving some good advice. You mentioned slippery ice. What happens if you slip? You will instinctively grab hold of the lead rope tighter to steady yourself which will likely spook your horse,& as you slip & fall, you may get trampled. You could be severely injured & Never fully recovered. Your horse could be viewed as dangerous, though it was human error, then be put down if you are unable to advocate for the animal. So both of you could suffer irreparable damage. Be careful. Horses can be loyal & amicable, but they are unpredictable animals when in flight mode. Anticipate the bad & work to eliminate the unnecessary risks.
