Anyone else’s horses turned into complete sass pots recently?

Pony has turned into the sassiest pony recently. We’ve had cantering down the yard, rearing and broncing on the lunge and today we had our first jumping lesson in a while and the little beast turned into a bsja pony, bouncing and leaping around. He did settle after a while but jesus!!

Yes. The old boy, ar 28, decided that a sedate stroll up a local byway was going to suit leap sideways, sliding stop, reverse, repeat on opposite lock with leap forward at Mach 1. It was fun in a masochistic sort of way. Apart from having zero control.

Yep, had Sassy pony mare all week. Seems to be in season + windy = bouncing in walk up the field.

Yes my unicorn is a bit spicy.
But it's the middle of winter, no grass turn out, I've been ill so not worked him that much and he's quite fit.
Bring on the spring !

thankfully mine are fairly quiet at the mo. one of the boxresters in Hospital Corner was fly bucking in his stable on christmas day and was so unreasonable that I did not muck out, just chucked fresh bed on top and figured it wasn't worth getting my head knocked off. All quiet by boxing day

I wish one of mine was? However, I did have a sprightly ride today on our younger pony. Son's pony was fresh and decided that spooking 3 times for absolutely nothing was good fun the other day!?

Yes, the coblet bombed off on the Christmas Eve hack, and over took the ex-race horses on the gallops. ?
And my usually saintly boy threw a massive fly buck on our hack the other day, and was launching during our flying changes practice yesterday ?
THey are both being ridden daily, on normal turnout so god knows what is going on.

Nope mine is being super lazy! Wishing for a bit more spice but when I end up on the floor I might regret that

The retired oldie was an absolute t*t coming in today…leaping forward, circling, wanting to bomb off…high winds blowing up her frock and eagerness for hay and comfort…what a flipping work out.

Daughter's little cob is sqeaking and bouncing everywhere.
I refuse to hack with her in winter.
She's a delight in summer.

My little Connie was trying his best to remember his manners and not canter on the spot beside me as I leading him out the other day. It’s ridiculously mild, windy and the grass is rammed full of sugar.

I took my 24 year old up the Downs the other day. He had bucked and farted in the field when I was trying to catch him and he was in race horse mode the whole way round the ride. He would not have anyone in front of him, huffed and puffed while we held the gates, tried to push his way to the front after every gate and cantered sideways up a stony path because I wouldn't let him gallop off on the grass. Then, after a 1.5 hour fast ride he jig jogged his way back to the field. I quite like it tbh as I love that he is feeling so well.
