well my horses arent like some people on here who say their horses will march up to the feed bucket and tap dance and whistle dixie politely while you feed, they are so impeccably marvelously well trained. My horses are like angels but any time you introduce a scoop of feed they turn into a pack of wild heathen savages who follow you around, crowding, mugging, try to stick their head in the bucket knocking it out of your hands, then of course Traveller will kick at stonewall and he will duck out of the way so there you are with a hoof in your face... you know the drill. What I do is walk along the fence pouring the feed while they stand mannerly cause they know if they try to stick their head in I wont pour, and if they get to fighting with each other I aint in the line of fire. Probably 99% of people who have been kicked to death by a horse was at feeding time. Janice-- yipie tie yie yo
