My mare is about 90 days in foal, just been weaned off regumate v slowly, and is being utterly foul to her field companion!

They’ve lived together for years and we’ve never had A covered in bite and kick marks before ? thank god they’re not shod. she is 19 and not keeping weight on as well these days so I feel like she’s not got much blubber to protect her.

Is there anything I can do? Separating the isn’t an option as Whinney would freak out being alone. Is this going to get worse?? I was wondering about a herbal calmer but don’t want to risk the pregnancy either.

She sounds unhappy- could it be pain somewhere? Maybe worth doing a bute trial to see how she gets on?
