Thanks Debbie, that's very helpful. It is the yearling filly. When in season she just wants to charge at Jack or me and try and kick our heads in or rear up at us. In between she is a little doll, but what a chage when in season. I'm hoping Sabina is a bit more controlled than Socks else they'll both be on a ssupplement.

My sister feeds "Stroppy Mare" (not sure who makes it), her mare has been on it for nearly 4 years and you certainly can tell a difference - she's only a bit evil now when in season rather than PURE EVIL all the time.

I know nothing about this, but must admit I was just wondering whether it could possibly be ovarian cysts..... The only reason I wonder that is that when I watched a Richard Maxwell clinic last year, there was a very brave rider there at her wits end with a TB type mare who was just unbelievably "unrideable"..... I don't know how else to put it really. I'd not have got on her, but her owner was doing the best she could, and hoped to find a way to work her through it. Well, Max felt this mare along her back and flanks etc and said that the area where she was most sensitive was strongly indicative of ovarian cysts, and that he'd suggest she got the vet to check her out. Sure enough, the mare did have cyst(s) and so has gone ahead and had an op which should restore her to a more even temperament. Hoping to see RMax in a month or so so hopefully I'll be able to find out a bit more then about how the op went, and exactly where he felt for that sensitivity. If I do find out anything that might be helpful, I'll let you know Jacqui.
