Seperation anxiety or worried?

Hi all,well i dont know were to start really,i have owned my girl since she was 18 months old and shes now 5 years old,we have got a great bond and i know i could place my life in her hoofs and be totally safe!!
I have noticed for the past few weeks when shes in her stable shes been going crazy,threatening to rear and jump over the stable door,she nickers at me everytime i walk back on to the yard once i have been toilet or coming out of the tackroom and proceeds to boot the stable door and as soon as i am with her she settles.
Today i decided to go out to the field to see her she followed me down the fence line away from the other horses as safer and whienied like she normally does,i gave her a treat and gave her a scratch in all her itchy bits and really gave her some attention,so i decided to go back down to the yard to get her a lil bit of grub,after walking halfway to the yard turned round to look at her and noticed her calling at me and pacing up and down and sizing up the 5 bar gate!!!So i rushed down to yard and walked back up and i saw her standing there staring at me as if "mums come back!"she called at me again and met me at the fence as i scrambled under,lol.I noticed that she looked sad and didnt have the happy go lucky look in her face anymore,she followed me were ever i went it was as she didnt want me to leave her,so i sat on the floor and stroked her she dropped her head on my lap as if she was relieved that i was there,it was so sad!!!So after half hour i did my usual with her got up and gave her stroke on her forehead and proceeded to leave this time she was not happy,she started pacing again and really calling this time and standing and staring at me.So i walked down to yard stopped for one minute so she couldnt really see me and she still noticed me and stood and called,i could hear her calling as i walked out of the yard gates,well i sobbed like a baby i have never in all the years i have had her seen her like this,it was heart jerking!!!
I used to only have her in a herd of 5 horses and she was always chilled and now she has been on this livery yard since december which is pretty big,but she has been fine up until now,i just felt so sorry for her as i started walking home.I sound so pathetic!!
Thanx for reading and hot choccy with big slab of dairy milk choc if you got this far.xx

It's lovely that she trusts you so much and that she is looking to you for support, but if we were to put this to the vote, I'd use mine to say she is not happy and is feeling insecure at this new livery.

I guess you'll have to follow your guts with this one?

Thanx so much for reading,i just cant understand why shes been like this for the past few weeks,i am up still thinking about her and missing her like crazy!!I did wonder wether it was the livery yard she is on,i am going to have to think seriously for her as i just want her to be happy,i will see how she goes within the next week and seriously consider my options,i used to think it was a bit of field seperation from her field buddy but i have now learnt that thats not the case.
I feel so pathetic saying that i cried but honestly it was so hard seeing her like that today!!!x

Actually you have hit the nail right on the head i did say to a friend the other day that she seems insecure,now that is totally out of character as normally she is very confident and bold in herself,and takes everything in her stride.x
