This is the worst I have ever seen:
Big TB, displaying all over the place, squirting everywhere, constantly wet and calling in the stable at night, kicking the walls, kicking out at others in the field, breaking fence poles down to get to other horses, almost unrideable - it's like I'm not there and she's in a trance and can't see me, alternating with adhd. Lunging with side reins is the best I can do at the moment. She has grown in height by about 3 foot.
Leading her is not easy and quite scary.

I've had mares before, but not TB mares. Is this normal?:eek::eek:

What supplements are out there please/would it be cheaper to get vet to use regumate?
Any experiences please?
 
My mare is something similar to your mare, the only thing that i do is when she is in season is leave her off for 3-5 days. When she is in season the only work she can cope with is rearing and bolting forwards.. I dont give her anything because i belive in not influencing the horonmes with her... Hopes this helps :)
 
Might be worth you getting your vet to do a few tests as she may have problems with her overies. My mare lacks more attention than usual when she's in season and frets if her friend disappears, but other than that she's pretty good really. Guess they are a bit like us females and are all different in how their monthlys affect them.
