Hi
I'm having difficulty convincing my mare that there is no monster in the corner of the arena. She is paddocked next door, and is so terrified she won't walk around her own paddock, she huddles by teh gate all day. I can ride her through the corner, but she gets more and more anxious, and loses all concentration. I've checked in case the monster was real (eg snake), but couldn't find anything. This is a new behaviour, and Lasix's horse thinks the corner is just fine.
How can I help her? (PS moving the arena is not an option!)
