Fix biting and food aggression - without punishing the horse

Horses can bite and be pushy when getting their food. This type of behavior can quickly escalate to becoming dangerous. But does this justify punishing the horse? And if not, how can change the behavior in a quick and easy way without punishing them?

I think it`s important to use a flag and not a whip as flags will not hurt the horse, pluss it`s easier to move them with it, which will make it easier for you to succeed with building a habit of your horse going backwards before being fed. As always horses respond better to being told what to do than being told what not to do, asking for backwards is different than asking the horse not to come closer or stay where he or she is.
