My mare is all over the place and it's starting to get ridiculous now.
We only ever hack and she spooks at absolutely everything. I don't mind looking at things and walking round them but it's the sudden stopping and fly to the side at things spook constantly for no reason at any speed which isn't ideal when going fast.
I've had her eyes looked at and they're fine, she has regular physio which I'm not sure she needs as she's always good with her back etc now but I do it anyway. She's just had her teeth done if that can even cause spooking!!
Even if she wasn't fed hard feed, she is still the same. There is no chance of going in a straight line either, we just zigzag everywhere. I've done in hand and ridden exercises at home which were no problem at all. It's not even like she's not calm, she just overreacts massively.
She has molasses free, low sugar and starch feed with digestive supplement. She is ulcer free now for a year nearly not that that made any difference to her spooking before or after. She has normal poos so it's unlikely to be an upset in her digestive system.
What can I do? There must be something that works!
