## Resource

Why Food Aggression Is More Common in Rescued Horses Most horses will test your boundaries—and for some, food aggression is just the tip of the iceberg. If you’re struggling with a horse that’s overreactive, unruly, or unclear about boundaries, this episode reveals the foundational shifts you need to make. Mark Langley dives deep into how overhandled and undereducated horses, especially those raised in captivity or humanized environments, develop food aggression—and more importantly, how to turn this behaviour around. Mark shares real stories of horses, explaining that food aggression in Brumbies isn’t inherently common—it’s a reflection of their lack of natural boundaries and clear communication learned in the herd. He outlines why these horses often grow up confused, overreactive, and lacking the skills to communicate effectively—traits often mistaken for instinct, when they’re really learned behaviours.
