I've had Angel for 10 weeks now and she was really good initially but the last three weeks or so have been quite testing. She's taken to spinning and galloping off - did it twice the full length of the school today! I can sit to it without a problem and pull her up, but it's not fun! She's done it out hacking too. I'm putting today down to the fact the yard's foal - a really hyper colt - was turned out in the field next to the school when we were riding and went nuts. I think he set Angel off. But she's testing me, right? Any advice on how to get through this stage with a new horse? It feels like ages since I went through it all with Roxy.
I'm not sure her and Rox being stabled/turned out next to a colt is ideal for either of them hormonally, mind you. I had similar problems with Roxy before when we were on a yard with colts.
