[RC] Question about mares - Ridecamp Guest

==========================================

Codee is the first mare I've owned in a very long time.  Had her now for a 
little over a year.  She turned 6 in May.  In November I got another horse at 
the barn that I am riding for hiw owner as I'm lighter than she is.  Since then 
Codee has expressed her opinions as to my riding another horse quite well, she 
does not like it at all.  Had the vet check her all over, ovaries, back, hocks, 
everything and it was all normal.  If Codee doesn't like what I'm asking 
(recently left bends and circles) she will leap in the air and buck.  She 
hasn't gotten me off yet but I'd rather not do capriloles without getting out 
of Intro level.

So, my question is, do mares go through a "teenage girl" period when they turn 
6?  One way or another the gelding is leaving, either going home or he's going 
to be bought so I'm hoping to get my girl back.
