This message is from: Jean Ernest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Maybe this mare is having some discomfort in her ovaries with the resumption of estrous cycles in the spring...This might cause her to act up with a rider who may be unbalanced, "pummuling" her, ets. Have had the vet check her out? It may be a pain or discomfort issue.
You could also try her on "Regumate" for a while to see if that made a difference...Ask your vet about this.
