A friend of mine bought a show horse x cob about 5/6 months ago.
she is 6 years old and in her previous home led a fast paced lifestyle, she hunted, show jumped, did cross country and fun rides. She lived out in a herd of mares all her life. She had been in that home since birth.
She is very forward going on hacks has loads of energy she can be ok in the school though she can have her moments.
Her current turnout situation is individual paddocks on a livery yard, she has horses next to her but none share the field.
The main problem is that when my friend takes her up to the yard she won't stand still and will eventually rear and break away and run back down to the fields, if she is put in her stable she won't eat and just calls out all the time. She has been on a magnesium supplement and it hasn't made any difference so the assumption has been made that she's not lacking in that.
has anyone dealt with this kind of behaviour and what did you do to help the horse.
Any comments will be greatly appreciated
