I have a 17yr old TB mare that is really bossy and demanding when it comes to food. She is absolutely fine in the paddock, walking her, fine to catch etc. but she just gets so worked up when she thinks you have food. For example, the other day I went to see her (she doesnt live at our place-but i see her approx. 4 days a week) and i stood out in the paddock and waited for her to come to me (usually she comes as soon as she sees you, but she was just being all stubborn) and i waited for a while, then i walked back towards the gate to wait for her there, but she must of thought I was leaving her without feeding her. She reared up and galloped into the paddock I was in (there's 2 paddocks, but she can access both) and when I got on the other side of the gate, coz I didnt want to get kicked or anything (u never know, she could do something like that, though she hasnt done it before), and she stopped at the gat and then started pawing the ground and making these weird hyped up whinny sounds
