HELP Pestering For Treats & Bad Behaviour
So basically one of my family members drives past my yard every morning and night (on their way to and from work) and they always stop and have a little look to make sure everything is okay (which I greatly appreciate) but they have been giving my pony treats every day, twice a day which paired with me going and giving her proper food means she is being given food every single time someone comes in to the yard. I have asked my relative to stop giving her treats as it's making her behaviour bad but they will not listen. She now follows you around the field, headbutts your back/shoulders/arms, tries to snatch food from your hands, whinnies and stomps her feet if you aren't giving her food. It's getting to be really annoying and quite dangerous (she headbutted me into the stable door and almost knocked my dad out last week). Does anyone have any tips on how to stop her behaving like this? She was never like this before he started giving her all the treats.
TLDR: relative gives my pony treats every day and her behaviour is deteriorating because she always expects food now. How can I fix this?
