Right as most of you know I have been having problems catching a horse on part livery at the yard. Couldnt catch her last night so she stayed out again - you just cant get near her to even give her a feed/polo.
Went up this morning and met owner up there (I put the other mares in the field next door) went armed with lunge line carrots, feed and bucket and she came straight in???

My problem now is what to do with her, she is now electric fenced in a small field on her own which is what we did last time. last time she was fine for weeks so I put her back in the big field with the others and shes been fine for about 2 weeks then this weekend she started it and we just got her in today. so do we accept she's going to have to stay on her own in a small field away from the others forever or is there anything else I can do?
 
If you and the owner think you have tried all you can think of to solve the problem then yes... I think it's time you found your local whisperer/behaviourist, the problem could be sorted easy peasy, it's their job after all!
It would be a shame for her to be isolated and lose her social life because of this, I would imagine she may develop further behavioural problems.
Having looked through your earlier posts on this subject, most things have been suggested, if you have tried and none have worked for you.... get the experts in

Thanks guys, I'll tell her owner later as we seem to have run out of options - her daughter was getting really upset as everytime she came up to ride she couldnt get near her.
Lilpinkso - I agree she's a very sweet horse and doesnt deserve to live on her own and miss out on the fun with the others.
Will get behaviourist in to help! Will keep you updated
