My 13 yr old warmblood mare has always been sharp, forward and full of energy, not in a bad way, it's just her and I love it. But in the last couple of weeks she's become quieter and tbh a little lithargic out on hacks, whereas she was always up front she's now plodding along at the back. Now I know I should if following the rule book get bloods done but in herself she seems the same, in fact she seems happy and chilled!
Her coat is changing and she is asking to come in at night, I have a vague memory that she has done something similar as this in previous years although not as noticeable. Could it be that the change of season brings her down a gear or two? I know that she goes up a few in the spring. I'm thinking that maybe I should try her on Red Cell before I call a vet? What do you guys think and does anyone else's horse suffer the same?
I'm not worried as I feel its nothing major, it's just unusual.
