My pony has got into the habit of nibbling for treats, I don't give him any after this behaviour started. I am worried it will turn into aggressive behaviour. Please help! I would also appreciate help on my recent competing and training forum post which no one seems to reply to...

I doubt it will turn into aggression unless your Horse is naturally aggressive. Sounds more of a bad habit that has been learned. Don't feed him treats from your hand anymore and ask people on your yard not too. If he tries to bite you then a short sharp "ah ah" or a growl. He will soon learn that you have no treats.
