So a couple of days ago some horses moved into a neighbouring paddock (not sharing a fence, it borders paddocks which my horses aren't in at the moment - so two fences between each group of horses). It seemed as if it was all going to be fine only yesterday CM came into season and is now walking/trotting/cantering about moving from the places that she can see them best, to the next place with a view of them. She has been standing in a ditch, jumping the ditch, playing silly buggers and generally not eating. My other two are not bothered. The new neighbour horses are not bothered. CM has just got herself in a state.
Do I just have to keep an eye on her and wait for her to come out of season and for the novelty of 'new horses' to wear off?
Is there anything that I can do?
Move paddock? They would share a fence line then so I'm not sure if that would be worse? I'm thinking squealing and legs crashing into the fence?
She's been on big and small livery yards with horses in other paddocks before and has never had an issue before. Horses regularly ride by on the lane and the bridleway which she can see and that doesn't bother her. The hunt can wind her up but not to this extent.
