I have an 17 year old Tb I've had her for a year and a half she has never had a problem with riding or leading but before I went on holiday she started to throw little bucks in but put it down to weather etc (as she doesn't like wind) come back from holiday and come back to a different horse completely spooking at dogs whilst being lead from the field, eyeing up things in the yard, dancing on concrete and won't even lunge properly now what could it be and what should I do? Please help me any help I would be grateful for and also please no nastiness
 
Has anything changed? feed, field companions, routine or any other horses on the yard changed behaviour at the same time.

She sounds as if she is either feeling too well and expressing herself by being extra spooky, jumping around or that something is bothering her, it could be that she has a slight pain or discomfort that is niggling and making her tense.

Just a few ideas as without knowing the horse it really could be any of the above or something entirely different:)
 
It's very difficult to help you from the imformation given but horses behaviour changes for a reason and you need to find the reason it maybe simple ( say to much food to little work ) or complicated linked to the the onset of a medical condition so my advice would be seek the advice to someone sensible and experianced who can actually see the horse and take advice from them. My next call would be an equine vet .
Think though all and any changes that may have been made could anything be affecting her.
Is she ridden ?
