My daughters pony is terrible for seperation anxiety, esp with my mare, im at a yard just me and a friend so there's 3 horses in total but even if I ride out and the pony is in the field with the other horse he still runs about calling and he's even tried rearing over the gate to get out, if I leave him in and take my mare away he will rear up over the stable door and has even jumped out the stable before, its worrying every time I go out and its even stooped me from riding , he's on a daily calmer but it doesn't seem to be helping, any ideas please?? I'm at a complete loss

I have had a bit of that with my two little lins,ellas a bit like that with sunshine,because they have always been together here with me.
what I done,I broke it down-step by step,I took sunshine but where ella she could still see her,not too far away,gave ella hay to munch on to keep her busy too.
a bit futher and she could still see her,she got use to me doing this,and started to feel comfortable with this,then futher, and out of sight for a second,then worked up to two seconds,then 3 seconds and worked up like that.
ella got so use to this.
this become normal in the end
don't rush it
but this worked for me
I have had this also when zulu died and ollie was left on his own,we then got charm for ollie but then I lost ollie unexpected,and had this with charm being without ollie,this is when the above work helps a bit.because you never know
