just wondered if anyone else was experiencing slightly jolly horses at the moment, i took my 4 year old for our usual hack this evening and had all hell staynig on. every leaf was a monster, and ever blade of grass was something trying to kill us. had 2 very very close unintentional dismounts through huge spooks which she never usually does at all, Not really naughty behavour just very lively jig joggy, is this down to winter coming or is she starting to hit the teenage years and trying it on... she was never dangerous and the spooks were both on big grass areas i nefer felt unsafe just like i was more of a passenger than actually riding her?? others thoughts on theirs atm..
 
YES! the 2 bigguns have been fence trashing for the last 2 days:mad: escaping from the grassy paddock onto the shorter grassed track:rolleyes: when i went to catch them the big girl took off up the track like a loon bucking and farting! even little ted was showing a clean pair of heels round his paddock yesterday, he normally goes no faster than necessary lol.
 
Mine too! Was like a little rocket lunging today, zooming around - usually she can't be bothered! She was knackered after though and was clearly glad to get it out of her system!
 
Yup, destroyed fencing and took 3 and a half hours of me trying to catch IN THE RAIN yesterday, when he didn't come in before I had to go to work. Of course he came straight in for OH, even though I had food and he didn't... He also managed to do something incredibly odd to his shoe where he has pulled 2 clenches quite a way out and they've bended upwards so the heads are on the outside of his hoof. He was shod 2 weeks ago and my farrier's pretty good. Just can't seem to get hold of him now Bud's been a nutcase! :) And aftre fixing the fencing from his escapades, the 14.2 in the field over has discovered he can crawl under the fence to join in the fun when his field mates wont! :eek:
 
Yep. We had a jumping lesson this morning and it was very speedy. We did quite a bit of stopping and backing up at the arena fence until he got over his gallopiness!
 
Yes! Mine was a complete numpty at the weekend! I've even got the saddler coming out to check just in case but pretty sure it was just high jinx...the little so and so!
