have you changed anything in her routene. Started bringing in, clipped her, changed or upped her feed, riding her less because of the bad weather.

My boy tends to get spookier at this time of year. I think that he does it to brighten up his rides as I get less chace to hack out. I try and avoid feeding him any cereals, just high fibre cubes and chaff.

My horse is being a pain in the *rse spooking at stuff at the minute, as well. Bear in mind what you are feeding her, t/o etc. IMO it's best not to make a big deal out of spooking, just get on with it so they don't get hung up on the spook. I'm sure she'll come out of it. If she gets worse or doesn't settle, might be worth checking back/teeth etc though

My boy changes the minute the cold weather kicks in - try sticking an exercise rug on if she's clipped -makes a difference with my boy (odd but true)

Mine spooks all year round but loads worse in the winter when it's chilly and windy.
