I've had a search through past threads on this topic, and it seems that NAF Oestress, Global Herbs Frisky Mare and Agnus Castus powder are the main ones that are recommended. Just trying to decide which one to try, any recommendations as to which one has worked the best would be really appreciated! :)
 
I would start with a vet, if you have not already done so. Moody mares can be because of ovary problems, I would have an exam first if you have hormone related issues.
 
Add Equine America's No More Moods to your list. This was brilliant when my mare was aged 5 - 6 ish and an extremely hormonal madam. Made her far and away more easy to handle, especially during Spring and Autumn. Once she grew up she no longer needed it. She's now 12 yrs old.
No More Moods is liquid chasteberry (Agnus Castus), very palatable and very little is needed. Just drizzle into feed.
 
She's generally quite laid back, and I normally can't tell whether she's in season or not. However, she's always been very aggressive towards geldings, to the point where I would have to keep two horses distance between her and a gelding if out hacking (this aggression towards geldings has been an ongoing thing, it's not happening at certain points in the year) We are now in a different area, and the people that we could potentially hack out with have geldings, and so we are just sticking to hacking out alone. I'm quite nervous when hacking out alone (fine when in company) and so if there were a way to help my mare become better around geldings then that would be brilliant
 
Feedmark Hormonease- Best thing ever. My mare's seasons have regulated and she doesn't seem to change when she is in season, she just stays her calm, quiet self. She doesn't squirt or squeal half as much as she's just very content now.
