Hi Everyone,
I wrote a while back saying my mare had turned into a beast! Background on her is she was brought as a project mare wasnt in good shape etc. Got all her ailments sorted and I started bring her back into work but everytime I got on she did a exploded bucking/rearing/jumping on all fours. I had her saddle check, the chiro, the physio all couldn't find a problem. People suggest getting her professional backed again as she could now be feeling very good and full of herself. So I a very experienced behavioural therapist/instructor out to have a look at her. Started work with her in lunge no problem, sitting on slight tension but on the whole no problems, ask her to walk on with a slight squeeze she explodes. Behaviourist said get the vet out to rule out everything before we diagnosis it as a learnt behaviour.
Anyway Vet came out today checked over externally no problems, scanned her ovaries, her left was fine, her right wasnt enlarged but the tissue looked slightly abnormal. So the vet has taken blood and I am now waiting for results. Two weeks as they have to go to America. I was wondering has anyone else had a mare with possible ovarian cysts, what did their scan show? what where there mares symptons? and treatment etc, or other possibilities.
Any advice etc greatly welcomed
