Is she any better? You can try bachs rescue remedy. Also if you go to the feed store they more then likely sell a nice calming aid. How long ago did you get her? It can take a month or more to settle in sometimes. What feed is she on? You may need to think about cutting back on grain. Are you sure she hasn't been abuse and not just neglected? You need to think about doing a join up with her so she can gain some trust.
: I just bought a horse, a 10 year old Arab
: mare. She's definately buddy-sour (lived in
: pasture with 7 others, not much human
: contact other than feeding) and is a handful
: right now. She's very nervous around
: everyone and the other horses right now.
: Anyone know any tips to working with a very
: anxious horse and/or how long it may take
: before she settles down? If it's important,
: she is not a dominant mare. Thanks!
