Potted history of new mare. 5 yr old ID, backed by a pro, arrived beginning of March from Ireland, very sweet and easy in the stable, liked to prance around on back feet when being led in and out but never got away or put that much effort into it. Took a few weeks to get saddle fitted so spent time on the ground lunging, long reining etc. All very easy and responsive. Saddle fitted, going nicely in school and hacking, all very low key. Fast forward to last week and she came into season in a big way. Did not want to be caught, started rearing in hand. Ok to tack up but as soon as I got a foot in the stirrup she bronked and reared across the yard. Took her into the school and she was stiff and unresponsive, like a steam train round a downhill slalom course! Quickly went out and bought some oestress. 2 days later she seemed a bit calmer, got on fine but early on we had another rear and was stiff on the right rein. Left rein was fine, relaxed and had a nice canter. So gut reaction was season, but also got EDT coming out to check her over as well. Obviously if EDT finds nothing I will get her vet checked as well. Gutted we have these issues so early on in our relationship 😐

Anyone want to take a guess on the cause of this behaviour?...
