My horse is on the birth control pill???

Quite a while back now i started to notice that my seemingly innocent and spook proof mare had changed... now im not saying shes bombproof..shes only a baby she couldnt be yet but she was AMAZING for a horse so young almost nothing ever bothered her but she was spooking now at the most stupid of things... for example a mud splatter once was enough to send her into a compete panic. I got the dentist out made she her back was ok and got her saddle looked at and i got the same thing 'you've got a mare...HORMONES!
A couple of  months ago her behavior started to become really random i swear she has some form of pony bi polar and it drives me insane until last week were she was TOO dangerous i had gone with her but i phoned my friend for advice and she said yes it was worth calling the vet out.
When the vet came she had to be sedated and have a scan and i was standing by her head practically crying thinking 'my baby is gonna die' But she got the all clear. Whats wrong with her? She's basically an nymphomaniac which is causing her to be in season 24/7 ( which would prob explain her spraying on all mares and geldings, the geese at the lake where i keep her and even my mother.) Letting her have a foal is not an option due to her past... she gets severely over protective and i think a foal would break the trust i have with her. So thank god tomorrow we can ring up insurance and hopefully get some cover... in about 2 months time if her equine pill works then we may be looking towards her having marbles put in her uterus  to save money in the long run and the save her being drugged up. That will make her think shes pregnant so shell just not come into season... Its been three days and already dryer and cleaner, she smells less... shes not spraying all over the place, shes not as rude as she could be and i have more control of her again.. This stuff works wonders! I dont mind her being forward as long as shes prepared to listen to me.

Let's pray i get my hyper nutty but not dangerous pony back soon!
