Hi all, I'm looking for some advice please
I moved my horse to a new yard last Sunday she has now been there a week. She has been pacing up and down the field and neighing continuously the first few days and sweating herself up. She is used to being in a field on her own with horses nearby and this is the same where she is now, there are two mares in field right by her. She is 19 years old and I have had her 8 years and never has she been like this when I've moved her. She seems to have settled a bit now in the field but will not settle at the yard, she doesn't stand still and she is neighing a lot and seems frustrated, as I said this isn't like her. She also has sweetitch and the new yard has a farm and I am wondering if she is irritated by her sweetitch too (she now has sweetitch rug on). I am not sure if I have been taking her in to the yard too soon, but I just wanted her to get used to it and I give her food when she is there as she needs handful of food each day with joint supplement, so showing something positive when she is in the yard. She keeps pawing the ground also which she has never done before. A couple of times other people have brought there horse on to yard and she calms down for a short while and then starts again even though they are still there. I'm just worried because its not like her at all. she was stabled throughout winter in previous yard and she is out 24/7 now which she has been the rest of the time i have had her other than this winter. Look forward to your advice
