anyone else's pony turned into a lazy bum??

[Firehorse]

my normally springy bouncy pony has turn into a plod!! agghh! whats happened. i schooled him for 40 mins yesterday and he was such hard work. usually once he's had a canter he wakes up and gets quite fizzy, but not this time!! i even managed to do half 20 metre circles in canter then trot half then canter and that is unheard of and what i've been trying to achieve for ages!!! yipee! is he stuffed full of grass weighing him down or has he finally given in trying to play me up?!

My oldie is completely chilled out too. I put it down to age...perhaps not!

mine is on small paddock turnout due to him having managed to injure himself doing impressions of a spring lamb.He had spent the previous 2 weeks being a general hooligan tanking off and leaping around while being led and impressive rodeo displays on the lunge line before being ridden.
