My youngster is becoming a pest.
He is a rescue pony and is 3 yrs old, gelded but not broken hes a companion pony.
Ive been having problems when trying to feed him, he chases me with the feed bowl and cuts across me and barges me, he's become quite dangerous.
Ive been trying to make him wait but it seems to make him more impatient and bolshy.
This has always happened but the last three days or a bit longer but tonight he was really dangerous. We just introduced a new pony to the other two and im sure he is worse now. Although the new one doesnt feed near him and doesnt come near him while he is eating.
I just dont know what to do to instill some manners into him. He isnt stabled they have a shelter they will not stay in a stable with the door shut so its not like i could shut him in to eat. Although i probably could i think he would stay there is there was food in the stable.
Any idea what i can do please?
He really is a friendly boy but he doesnt seem to know his boundaries and doesnt give any personal space.
