Hello. I’ve recently got a new horse. She’s only 2 so still baby. I’ve noticed she’s got a bit of separation anxiety. Rears when other horses aren’t in sight. I just don’t want her rearing over the wall or her gate. Help

Can you explain a bit more about why she has no other horses in sight at two? I wouldn't, personally, put a two year old in a new home in that situation for the reason you are discovering. Can she go into a closed stable for the time she has to be alone if it's unavoidable that she is?

The way our yard is set out is they have a stable and a little outdoor bit so they’re not closed in all the time. When it’s turnout time or brining in (mainly bringing in) she gets very upset if she can’t see the pony next door. ( I don’t own the other pony so I can’t control when she comes in unfortunately)

I don't think this is a suitable yard for your horse, at her age she should be out 24 hours a day with other youngsters, or at least out in a herd environment.

This the horse needs some turnout time at least not cooped up in a stable with a tiny pen, it's no wonder she is getting upset.

Is she turned out in a field with others, or just in the pen outside her stable?
