I have a TB mare (chestnut - oh no!) have had her about 10 weeks or so now, my previous horse was a gelding so I have no personal experience of mares at all! She seems to be settled in her new home & is happy with her 'boyfriend' but today she didn't want me anywhere near her back end! Am I right in thinking this is normal type of behaviour for some when they are coming into season? The ears were back, she had a right grumpy face on so I checked her over, gave her her mints & kissed her & left her to it! Sometimes she is so sweet as everyone who knows her history says she is but I'm assuming shes just suffering a bit of PMT! :confused:
 
Sounds like it!!
Mine was impatient to be shod on Monday, unsettled in the field yesterday and certainly unhappy with being brushed today!! Strangely enough though, she's happy to go out for a nice hack!! Must take her mind off things....
