As in horses with a little too much spring in their step? :p

Took my boy out yesterday, was his usual relaxed self. Took every opportunity to canter on grass, on the green, on verges, even took him to jump some ditches, nothing happened.
Came back across the green where he decided to have a little buck, nothing really, just wanted to go faster but couldn't as it's too wet. So I took him on to a flatter bit where we can do some laps, thought I'd let some of the steam out of him. Did first lap, fine. Didn't get anywhere with second lap as he launched into a broncosaurus fit!!!! I could feel the look of confusion on my face as I wasn't sure where it had come from, though I think he might have been telling me I need a bit more excitement in my life. Managed to stop him and then he walked off home, on the buckle like nothing had happened. The little monkey :p

Just disappointed my friend didn't drive past a minute earlier to witness it :rolleyes:
 
Yep - not ridden so far but on Sunday mini pony barged out of his stable (despite me and hubby trying to hold the door shut!) to get to gras, and yesterday my other pony was a harror, jumping over electric fencing to get to a mare who is in season just after I'd turned him out. He then spent 5 mins marauding round the field being a wally!
 
Yes!

Took horses for a ride yesterday and irish thing bucked so high his tail hit me on the back and then the lippizaner displayed try lippizaner thinking doing all her leaps :)
 
Yes! Normally chilled out cob has suddenly decided that horse eating monsters live down one end of our school, and that the best way to deal with this is to rear :rolleyes:

Glad I'm not the only one, but it's a bit early isn't it?!
 
Yes - he's turned into a stress head after being brilliant all winter. Going to try and ride tnight after work though and I think I might go for a really long hack on Sunday to chill us both out. :)
 
I don't think it can decided if it wants to be spring yet. I took both these pictures on the same day
