Haylage & Behaviour Change (especially thoroughbreds)

Haylage is full of protein when i had s three yr old who personality changed to the extent i culdnt mount her without her rearing lungin forward then bucking before she hit the ground i automatically got vet dentist and chiropractor out nothin wrong so cut feed of her still no improvement one day i was talkin to a friends farrier told him the problems suggested that i got the haylage tested so i gave him some and he sent it away for me( culdnt tell u where) the results came back that the haylage was 19 % protein so switched the mare onto hay a huge improvement
 
Thank you everyone whos replied so far :-) I'm currently moving Prince onto hay, today was today 4 of our change over - he's still biting, seems to have stopped kicking, though very pushy - a few little bucks walking to the outdoor, took him in and he was straight into a gallop - the little monkey! Hes definately not himself but the kicking seems to have stopped, so its a positive so far :-) and he was ridden well for 2 hours yesterday.
