Was she taken off to a new place for training? There is a thing i have read about recently, called "situational" training, where your horse does great at something in one place but not in others. Spookiness for instance. Anyway. I think diet. if the horse has been groundworked in a calm manner over a period of time and actually shakes around others, it has to be either diet or simply has not been groundtrained or out in the world enough. My old horse Gallant Boy shakes like a leaf when the farrier comes, I mean trembles head to toe. It breaks your heart. But he has only seen a farrier probably three or four times in the last ten years if that, (twice now with me) and prior to that he had some years being shown as a plantation shod walker, which is painful...
so i think your horse either has issues, or lack of ground work, or feed probs! Or if it has had lots of groundwork, go on the net and google situational behavior... its interesting. janice-- yipie tie yie yo
