Called my 2 over for breakfast this morning, and my mare just couldnt possibly wait for the old boy to finish his....cue barging out of the shelter and galloping off around the field bucking and farting :D

Methinks someone had the wind up her bum :)
 
All of the horses were going bonkers in the fields this morning gallloping round and squeeling(sp). Typical me I was riding and my mare got very very excitable, ah well at least it got her moving:p
 
Mine was fine in the field got him to the yard, tied him up outside and he wouldn't stand still grew about 2 hands and spinning around looking at horses in top field who were running about a bit.

Put him in his stable he ate his breakfast then wouldn't stand still again, pacing round then stopping with his head right up listening then pacing again. Very stange, YO's son was climbing on the bales and making a bit of a racket but stuff like that doesn't normally bother him.
 
Mine is full of joy apparently...got a txt from my mate at the yard, the hunt had just gone past, cue Star leading a galloping hoon round the field. Think I'll leave riding till tomorrow.....
 
Tiny fuzzy - looking like a shaggy circular yak was spotted gleefully legging round the night paddock, doing the wall of death - interspered with handstands that only the tiny can look silly doing :D:D
Dainty Fuzzy watched with awe & then showed TF how to do it properly :rolleyes:

Will lunge & then ride DF later this afternoon :)
 
Mine were both a bit fresh!! Had to trot one up and then lunge for the physio which was exciting!!!

My welshie also pulled like a train when I was taking her out to the field and then she went bonkers when she was let loose :)

Must be the icy weather!
 
Thursday mine was being a knobber to ride eg going backward rather than sideways, snorting etc. Even bobbed up and down on the spot at a bit of dug up school.

He's on part livery so yo does turn out and they couldn't catch him yesterday despite several attempts as he was spinning round the stable!

Have lesson on him today which could be interesting given its blowing a gale here.... (If he will be caught from the field!)
 
Demented! My usually laid-back WB mare spent the whole hack spooking, jogging, and snorting at invisible demons - then launched into a bucking fit when asked for a canter and the 'walk' back to the yard was more of a prance, with her tail kinked over her back. The baby was just as lit up walking from the stable to the field, shying and jogging all the way up the steep hill. They're never normally like this, so I'm assuming it's the cold?!
 
Yes, had an interesting hack this morning - Boy was on his toes and marching out ahead of the girls (unusual for him) and almost took us off for a gallop around set asside tracks, in the opposite direction of our companions... then got a few big bucks and then, when we had a trot, he pulled like a steam train...
 
I wimped out of riding this morning, it's blowing a gale here and the wind chill must be -5!! My arab mare walked quietly out to her paddock then spent the next three hours basically creating to come back in again as she hates the wind. The section a dragged me out of the gate and acted a prat and the shetland went out looking like Yogi Bear with his hair all fluffed up. They are all back in their stables now, which get the low sunshine and are sheltered from the wind. My mare would be a liability to her legs if I left her out and she feels safe in her stable in the wind!! As for riding, I went armed with tack, but I would like to keep my toes just a little bit longer!!
 
Daughter had a lesson this morning on Dolly- started out very good and ended up a proper hooney!!! Daughter laughing like a loon made it worse!!! Dolly was in permanent extended trot and practised a lot of working jog!!! Good canter round did them both some good!!!! ; )
 
My TB lost the plot this morning and galloped round and round and round and then stopped to look into the distance and then off he went again .... set Motor off and he rolled, which is something of a rarity these days .... thankfully he managed to haul himself up!! :eek:

I think it was the wind and a funny weather front tbo :rolleyes:;)
 
Yes my boy who us normally a bit too laid back was very full of it this morning on our hack it's funny how there was allot of people with same problem
 
BH hadn't been ridden for two weeks and did incredibly well to hold it together out hacking today. He did jog a bit though which is most uncharacteristic so yep, must be windy!!!
 
Samba decided rugs, boots, grooming kit no longer should be stored in the unused manger this morning, spring cleaning at the wrong time of year!!! Well flung accross her stable and a few brushes over the door.
 
Ours were quite chilled today even though we did a bit of jumping, which usually means Chloe getting very excited and taking x poles as though they were 1.20m fences, que me shutting my eyes!

However last night Amber decided to have a hooley at ...... a bird flying out of some bushes! :rolleyes:
 
My lot went mad too. I put it down to forecasts of snow which often has an effect on animals. Strange that those a lot further south experienced the same thing. Could it be due to the sudden change in the weather? I'm in the Scottish Highlands. If there are a lot of rabbits out feeding during the day it is a sure sign of snow.
 
i was lucky and had 2 reasonably sane ponys, Jen never spooks or messes anyway coz its too much likehard work but we did get canter on the first time of asking. Jasper was a bit nuts on the lunge but i was brave enough to sit on him and walk round (only his 3rd time with a rider!)
 
My mare is full of it , loaner wanted a lovely nice hack she had far from , cue jogging , trying to turn from home which she has never done , and everything in site going to jump out and eat her , she was a very sweaty beast , and they say cobs are plods lol
 
See my recent thread about cold backed ponies! At the grand old age of 22 (acts 2 usually), my welsh cob decided to come over backwards on concrete this morning after Id got on when it was still about minus 1, serves me right I suppose, lesson learnt and all that :(
 
This is interesting. Knobberpony has been very excitable the past week,she has even bucked,which she has never done before.My 9 year old took her to Newton X Country on Monday and I have never seen anything like it,old knobberpony would clear a jump and be bucking on the spot with excitement waiting for the next one.When daughter took her around the course,she just flew and really jumped high.My mum was with me and we were both laughing and:eek:We could hear the other ponyclub mums gasping as knobberpony rocketed past.All I could hear as they went through the woods was daughter yelping with excitement.

Wednesday we took my youngest, who is 7 hunting on the lead rein,and she kept up with the field all morning.We were the only l/reiners and I walked and ran for 3 hours.Knobberpony was very very well behaved and got a lot of compliments,I felt like death after the early start and all the running.

My eldest was galloping around the fields on her yesterday,racing with a friend,and we could see knobberponies heels as she galloped and did handstands up the field.:D We gave her the day off today as she is 23 and has had a busy week,but she was quite disgruntled and I could tell she wanted to go and have more fun.
