Location: Alberta | zansbeunogal_2268 - 2015-02-11 3:11 PM she has no sore spots that i can find when i touch her. but she also just started doing this as well, swishing her tail and kick her belly a couple times when I unsaddle her. so im wondering if it is maybe ulcers or ovaries. she got sick on me a couple months ago and had a fever and went off feed. she has always been a witch, but just the kicking has started. I know she is tickleish or something, cause she hates a breast collar, she hates a strap touching her.
Ulcer risk there...... |

Treat her for Ulcers
Ultrasound her ovaries and run a blood panel (check hormones)
5 panel DNA test
Those would be the next 3 steps I would take.

Location: Fort Bragg North Carolina | I know a lot of ppl always think something's gotta be wrong but your dealing w a mare here.... I have a witchy mare worse you've ever seen but under saddle a hard worker gives 100%. I believe horses have personalities just like humans and some are just plain hateful. I don't argue w my mare anymore I just have learned over the years this is just her! Lol I laugh at her behavior like I said she does her job and isn't dangerous but just a straight up b!tch |

| 1) Ovaries & Ulcers
3) Stall time for any horse, especially a young one in training can make them go nuts. Turn out is the best. |

Location: Canada | Vitamin E, Chaste Berry, and a shot of Hy-50 and my raging cow has turned into a kitten who I absolutely adore. Seen a difference on day 5...day 7 she was the mare I dreamt she could be :) I have her brother and he was a jerk too...added the Vitamin E to his diet and he's completely different now too. |

Location: Lost in the corn of Iowa. | I have a mare that has checked out fine in the reproductive stuff. She is just a pill by nature, what helps mine to be halfway sane is the silver lining herbs mare magic. She's been on it for over a year and I keep her on it year round. If she is off of it, she is a bronco bucking terror to say the least. And that's just in the pasture!!! |

Location: Willows, CA | Years ago John Lyons had a horse that his wife raised that the barn help could not get in the stall with. We used to send feed to him through the mail to Parachute Colorado for that mare. She was hyper sensitive to starch and we calmed her right down. Diet can make a big difference in temperament in some horses. |

| Thank you so much for all of your inputs! I have made the app to get her to the vets and I'm gonna start treating her for ulcers, and get her ovaries looked at.
Have you guys treated alot of babies for ulcers, or just your older stuff?!
She gets turned out next month for some time off, so that should help her too. she get a couple flakes of grass hay and alfalfa 2x a day and free choice mineral and water, and grain and buckeye 2x a day as well.
once I turn her out she will be on free choice timothy hay, mineral and water and buckeye once a day. |
