I have been - which doesn't give us too much opportunity to work on it, because we feed them from the aisle on the other side.... don't have to go in with them with the bucket.
But when we go to put them in, I have to open each of their gates individually so they don't go in the wrong one. This is one of the times she'll run over you to get in her stall if you don't open it and get out of the way. There is usually no feed poured in the stalls yet, we do that after they are in, to decrease the level of frenzy a little.
When she's run over me then, I have gotten mad and put a line on her and taken her back out to walk or lunge for a minute.
What happened yesterday was that we were walking out to the pasture with a bucket that wasn't even feed, it was barn sweepings that were full of hay seeds and we were gonna go spread it in the pasture. Cyn and the pony were hovering behind ecurbh anyway, following, and Cyn went to lunge at the pony we think, and ecurbh was in the way. Of course... she's loose and after doing it, she ran off. By the time we caught her and got a line on her, she was docile as a lamb, though we did practice just walking her with the bucket.
Here's a suggestion, what I would do. I wouldn't want to use a whip in this circumstance either. But knowing how she is now, for warned is for armed. I would not ever (till she's better) let her go into her stall to eat without first putting her halter on and leading her in. I'd measure the feed into thier feeders. Let the others in their stalls, catch her, then make her lead politely into her stall, and not let her dive into her feeder till you have the halter off.
