This is not the norm well I don't think.
my mare paces badly, she only used to do it when she couldn't see any other horse but lately it's if a horse that should be there isn't so horses all around if one leaves she does extreme pacing even at canter
the same if her routine changes I am normally first on our yard but if anyone comes early and just does things she sweats all up and box paces
being ridden apart from the odd spook she is perfect, seems to know her job and does it without any fuss...had physio out to routine check and she is so tight due to this, which is such a huge shame because she is otherwise fantastic
a bit about her history that may help brought over from Germany at 4 competed dressage on prof yard to 7 went lame put in foal bred 3-4 foals I bought her in foal 2 years ago she was pacing then too she had the foal with me but due to a horrid accident foal pts at 10 weeks then I thought she needs to work her brain again so brought her back into work but even though I think she is happy she goes in this zone and there is no getting her out of it...she was even like it with the foal at foot if she couldn't see the others, so I don't think the trauma of loosing the foal has caused it
anyone have/had similar? Any tips
i can't put another horse with her she is alpha and can be nasty
