Aggressive horse

[meleeka]

Okay, but why is she so patient about it if it irritated her before now? Like this morning she was waiting in her spot as usual and happy to see me and looked extremely confused when I put the bucket on the ground for her instead of holding it like I usually do. So what you’re saying is if she’s not waiting at her spot I should just put her bucket down where she already is? Or should I not feed her at her spot at all anymore even if she’s waiting there? There hasn’t been a time when she’s been with me that she needs to fight for her food or doesn’t get it. Sorry if I sound dumb I’m just trying to fix what I’m doing wrong for her.

You just need to turn feeding into a non event, so a positive experience where she can just chill and enjoy. If she’s not where you feed her just call her over, put her bucket down and walk away. If you haven’t got anywhere she can eat away from others then try and make one.
To give you an idea, mine took about 4 months to settle and probably 6 before she was totally calm about food. Horse have long memories.
