Like grandma, like grandson!! Line puts her foot through the two bottom panels of her metal panel gate EVERY morning and bangs away demanding her breakfast! Same thing at dinner time! At least she waits until she hears the back door - or until someone turns on the barn lights - before she starts. But she doesn't quit until the food is in the feedbox! It annoys me no end, but there is just no easy way to break her of it and she never actually gets her foot caught - she's way to cagey for that - so I just 'grin and bear it'. Some things/behaviors are worth changing, others are not. If she's out in a pen with no metal gate to bang, she just paws and swishes impatiently until the food arrives. I thought maybe this behavior would stop now that she's the only horse - and it did for a brief while - but now she's back at it the same as before.
