I know some riders that made a practice of each carrying a pommel bag filled 
with horse treats.  They made a game out of letting the other horse reach 
for the bag
and then be given a treat.  Fine, until the "grabby" horse got to nipping at 
the rider's nearby knee.   And then reaching at any other rider's pommel 
bag/ knee.

After I was nearly bitten I made the following statement,  "If your horse 
reaches for me again, I will smack her.  If it happens another time I will 
hit you"
Glad to say it never happened again while I was around, I think they quit it 
altogether.
We are all still friends.
