bailey is now 18 months and is standing at 14hh at withers and is growing into the chunky cob that i bought. however, he is starting to get funny over his food. he is fine with me, feeding him, touching him etc while he is eating but if my son or daughter goes near him he gets really funny. my son just stays away as bailey will put his ears back and head forward although he has never bitten or anything like that but the other day my daughter went to move his food as lottie was trying to get to it and he swung round on her and she had to move pdq. she was so cross. i feed the 4 of them in the yard loose and usually on my own, once we have got the food down i have to make sure that they are all far enough apart as lottie(sec a) will try and taste everyone elses but they are happy with thiers. once she is sorted they are fine and all eat until finished then they will go round each others bowls to see whats left (usually nothing). what am i doing wrong to make him like this? there were children where i got him from so dont know if they did anything regards food before i had him but i obviously dont want him to continue to be like this as none of the others are. i have had him since july and it is only the last couple of months he has been like this.any help appreciated. xx
