I’m not sure why a discussion in a separate thread is being brought to this one, but I just wanted to let you know you have your bucket tossing posters mixed up. I’m fine with a judicial bucket toss. 
OP deleted their response before it could be quoted, but they did indicate pain was a possibility with this horse. I hope they can get to the bottom of it, buckets or no.
I know it wasn’t you that said you threw a bucket at your horse. I’m not against anyone using whatever it takes to keep a horse from knocking them down, kicking, biting, etc. What I am against is an online vet(?) making comments about other vets and trainers and snarking on a horse owner that chooses not to toss buckets at their horse.
Whatever happened to each their own?
More/heavier blankets with hoods.
Any acute change in behavior my default is physical. I’d definitely scope. Depending on the type of ulcer omeprazole won’t do anything except spend your money.
I wouldn’t treat a sudden behavior change around food as a random behavioral issue unless I exhausted stomach issues first.
Huh?? I think you need to reread my post since you’ve now misattributed me twice. 
I never criticized OP at all. I get you have a personal issue with me, but that’s not a good reason to drag your grievances onto someone else’s thread. Try the ignore feature if things I say bother you so deeply.
I just saw your post. Two things 1) I don’t have a problem with you, just some of your long winded posts, 2) I don’t ignore, I read and then ignore or read and respond.
