moved yards and gone lethargic

[horsemadcheek]

i have just moved yards with my horse, she is a very lively character and is very cheeky in her ways in riding and handling. since i have moved yards her character has stayed the same in handling.. but when riding her, she has become really larthargic.
i also wormed her at the begining if spring equimax, summer equest (green) and a few weeks ago equest pramox. i was beginning to wonder if i have wormed her incorrectly thus making her lathargic...
can anybody help me here .. do you think it is just homesickness or do you think it is something else.. all suggestions welcome.

Doesn't sound like it's a worming issue - as long as left the 13 week interval between Equests! But even if not there would have been a problem straight after worming rather than now, unless she has a large worm burden emerging at once, which doesn't really make sense with the worming history....(should stop waffling now!!)

Ifit was a yard issue I'd expect the lethargy to be more around everyday handling and better when stimulated i.e. ridden.
I would be more inclined to think that may be she's picked up a bug or virus on the new yard. Don't get me wrong it's not that there will be disease outbreaks on the yard, more that the newbie has to adjust to the environment and it's endemic bugs...like colds always goes around about 2 weeks after starting back to school....you know "Freshers 'Flu"

If this has been going on for more than a few days already, then it might be worth getting a blood test to rule this in or out...if not then maybe give it a chance to settle down first and then get bloods....

Hope that helps.
