What are your mares like when they are in season? My old mare you could never every tell she was never stroppy or bad tempered or any different to ride. But for the last couple of days my 17 month old filly has been very bolshy. Trying to squash you, no manners, even tried to nip. And tonight bringing her in from the field she reared 3 times. Something she has not done for a long time. I thought I wonder if she is in season. Went in her stable and yes she is. As I have never had to cope with it with my other mare (and other horse is a gelding) just wondered what other peoples mares are like and how they cope with them being like that. And suggestions on what to do when she is like this. Normally she is very pleasant and placid. And she isn't being really ratty and bad tempered just bolshy. Thanks folks.
