JVB - how strange that you are in Cheshire too!! Mine definitely improves with schooling and only really spooks at the beginning of a session, unless a bike goes past on the road which is obviously very terrifying!
TarrSteps - Thanks for all the advice. She doesn't have an allergy that I know of although i have occassionaly wondered if she has a pollen allergy in the spring. Susie says her horses don't jump that well in the "spooky" venues, but i think her definition of not jumping well is perhaps not winning rather than not getting round like me! Useful thought about the surface too because actually the places that tend to be small, dark and spooky also have the worst surfaces so perhaps that is driving it as well. Having said that though, the collecting ring was awful on Saturday and she jumped fab in there! Jeez this horsey lark is complicated!!
