Hi does anyone have experience of using Regumate long term? My mare was put on it due to aggression towards other horses while in season. I'm getting the the bottom of my first bottle and she seems to be in season? Does it loose its potency? There is another mare in the same field that's in...

Yes I agree think she panics she going away from them. Thanks for your advice.

Was just looking for a bit more control really I would never force her to do anything. Just because she's becoming dangerous I was thinking of using one she's a big mare who has forgotten all her manners and don't want anyone getting hurt. Managed to get her on the yard tonight and when she...

It's me panicking as I tend to do I know it will take time it's just so stressful in the mean time. Thanks for your advice x

Thanks very much that's really useful. I know it's my fault for having her on her own for so long. After we lost our old boy I got a loan horse which battered my mare and it took me most of last year to get her right again. So finding a new home with company kind of went on the back burner...

Thanks I'm willing to try anything. Vet said to see how she goes with this and then he will give me a prescription for it if it works. Hen possibly look into a behaviourist but couldn't advise me of one. Will be starting her in it this evening along with gastroguard. Best get the over time in!

Just spoken to the vet who has suggested trying Regumate to see if it calms her down enough to be handled more easily. I know she's in season so I'm hoping it will help. Does anyone have any experience with using this?

My mums helping me with my two I have a new gelding too he's being is being a dream god love him. The yard owner is helping when she can but works long hours. I can get a head collar on with a lot of coaxing a friend has offered me the use of a dually I'm going to give that a go so I'm more in...

Thanks for your reply. I've had her 15yrs this year and she's my baby. I've never had an issue like this with her before she's always been a bit stressy but never difficult or dangerous to handle. I've moved her three times before and she's formed bonds but never got this attached. Hopefully...

Thanks willing to try anything!

Thanks for your reply. I feel a bit out of my depth to be honest and don't want to do anything in my management of her to make things worse. I'm currently waiting for the vet to ring me back and I'm going to ask him to recommend a behaviourist for me to seek help from. I've had her 14yrs and...

I'm going to ring the vet this morning. Need to put her on some gastroguard for her tummy and was going to ask about something to calm her down. She was on her own to start with Saturday she freaks out if she's any distance away from her new friends and I'm scared of her hurting herself or my...

I moved my mare on Saturday to a small yard with 3 other geldings. She's been on her own since last May when we lost our gelding who she'd been with for 14yrs. My problem is she's latched onto two geldings at the new place and I can't do anything with her. She's changed from my little angel...

Thanks all. When I got there this morning two of the horses had got into the same paddock as my mare and they were all cuddled up together. Bit the bullet and put the gelding in because he was getting really stressed on his own. After 15mins of bombing around the field they seemed to settle...

Hi Yesterday I moved my mare to a new yard and brought my new gelding over. The yard has two other horses living there. The horses are all currently separate with a gate and fence between them but they can all 'talk' to each other over the top. My mare is very unsettled and will not leave...
