I've had my mare since may and in that time she's had to move 5 times. From her first yard because it was vile, then we moved to the other side of the country, then again because it was vile (so, so bad) then because I couldn't afford the full livery. So she's not had the most settled start I know. She is 3 years old.
Anyway, she was left without roughage for extended periods of time at the 3rd yard (hence we left) and since then her behaviour has deteriorated. She pins her ears, bites, turns her bum, and if you have a bucket of food or go near her when she's eating she's like a woman possessed, will think nothing of kicking you and ignore any crazy advance/ whip that's shown towards her. She's been back in my care for 4 weeks but it seems to be getting worse not better.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, thinking either start working her or turn her away, as she's now in a paddock on her own (with neighbors) but think she's bored
