lot of horses (& people) don't like to be fooled with when eating. I'd just hang a bucket on the fence, feed him & stand close on the other side of the fence while he eats & don't mess with him. That will usually make them relax. If you have to walk into the pen to feed, carry a club & use it....
Yep... my dog just took a hoof to the head this morning running around behind the new mare. Waiting for vet to call back ... I don't let them near me with the food but once they are eating they get left alone.
