This mare has had a lot to deal with in the last month. She's gone from being out 24/7, to being in 24/7 for 2 weeks, and now a change of routine again. Along with the colic, stomach injury and changes of diet you've posted about, I'm not surprised that, especially at only 4 years old, she is feeling overwhelmed and starting to play up. What are you feeding her now? Am I right in thinking that the horse she is stabled with is not her field mates? Is it them she is upset for when you bring her in?

Shes still on the same diet - 1lrg scoop baileys conditioning cubes, 1.5cups of baileys outshine in each feed 2 feeds per day. She is stabled next to a horse which is kept in the next field who she and the ponies stands with everyday over the fence. I dot think its the ponies she is upset for when she comes in, i think its the fact that she just wants to be out 24/7. When she was out 24/7 she never had anxiety issues and went out riding everyday with no problems on her own.

Jesus wept - you're feeding her rocket fuel hun. She will survive on hifi and basic pony nuts if she's not working, please get her off that feed regime until she's being worked.....
