I have just started sharing a horse and was careful when choosing her (saw her ridden, then rode her in the school and hacked her out before agreeing to anything). She was perfectly fine until yesterday when I brought her in from the field to her stall to tack up and she was very agitated (pacing stall and neighing to the remaining horses in the field). I chose to ride her in the school were she was near uncontrollable often refusing to stand or listen to anything. Her entire focus was on the horses in the next field (the same field she had previously been in). I eventually gave up. I noticed when returning her to her stall that she had sweated a lot too (only had her out 10 mins) Any ideas what this problem might be/be caused by? Or was it simply just a bad day?
 
When you've brought her in before were there others in? In which case she's not used to being on her own. If not, I'd second it sounds like she's in season.
 
There were a few other horses in but her friend was out in the field. She was no trouble the previous few days were she was ridden out in the the morning while her friend was in the field. I've hacked her out twice now by herself though she does have a tendency to rush back as soon as we turn for home. I'll see how she is tomorrow. Thanks for the comments.
