Are your horses being extra norty??

Ours have just moved into the Summer feilds, filled with lush grass so consequently we cannot catch them. :p

Even my little native who loves to be excersised and be around people is proving tricky!
 
Yes.

Nitty is vile at the moment (went up with me yesterday :mad:)

BH isn't being norty, he doesn't really know how under saddle but he is being very flighty and nervy to hack which is unlike him!
 
Yes.

OMG same, he is an absolute nightmare to hack at the moment... He spooks at drain covers, crisp wrappers when he is usually plodding along instead he's skipping about feeling like he's gonna explode!!
 
Yes.
Tonight I have just spent at least half an hour trying to get the welshy and the coblet back into a field. They escaped whilst bringing Highland and baby Highland in.
Hacked the boy out today. He planted and decided to try and dig his own grave (which he is heading for!) So we stood for a while scraping away at the grass and snorting :rolleyes:
 
Yes. No turnout for a week due to waterlogged fields. Every time I take pony out for a hack all she sees is lovely spring grass and can't resist, then throws a paddy when I stop her diving for grass. Has also taken up planting in the school.

Mine is also proving to be "tricky" to catch at the moment :mad:
 
Just to annoy you all.

My boy is being impeccably well behaved (Don't know why I am saying this he will probably deck me tomorrow)

We did inter hunt relay practice and he jumped like a stag and was rather reserved with his outburst over how exciting changeovers are!
Also his schooling work is better than ever, he was doing the best half pass, shoulder in, travers and leg yield we have done for a long time on Friday. It all just worked!
 
Well from reports off the yard manager and someone who hired the school my boy has been tearing about like a mad man. He was norty to hack out, bucking etc not to bad but still bucking plus I have spotted his skid marks in the field. The grass is currently running at racehorse mix levels according to our nutritionist (one who does Carl Hester etc) so I would imagine that is the reason for the excess energy!
 
Yes mine is! :mad:

She has escaped numerous times, is destroying everything in sight, and was a bit of a madam with Cobrastyle the other day, after me saying she would be fine and calm jumping! She tried to charge at a single trotting pole and normally she trots nice and calmely over jumps!! :mad:
 
Mally is full of it in the field at the moment, the moves she is bustin' would strike fear into the most hardened rodeo rider :eek: However she is her usual self under saddle, with just a few extra bucks! :D
Although she spooked at something on a hack today, threw a massive tantrum about being made to stand still and told me in no uncertain terms that she would rear if I made her stand still for one second longer... honest.. look I'm lifting my foot off the ground... really... I'll do it... Oh actually, I've changed my mind, I want to stand still ;)
 
Yes they are....... my mare got me off the other day first time in the whole year of having her that she has ever done anything nasty with me :mad: deffintely feeling full of herself at the moment!!!
 
Yep, Floss is like a thing possessed, Hector bucked when asked to leg yield in walk and then bucked some more when he got a smack. Willough who is supposed to take things easy keeps bouncing round the field and came back from her 'gentle' hack yesterday looking like a kangaroo. The babies however are angels, guess the extra energy is going into growth for them!
 
Mines being alright actually! *touches wood madly!!*. He was a bit fresh last week having a bronch whilst jumping because he was so excited and then the next day he had a paddy on the gallops because I wanted to walk and he wanted to gallop... but since then hes been OK.
He was quiet as a mouse at the dressage on saturday and hacked him out this morning and he was beautiful. I took him in the school when I got back and gave him a blast as the ground is like a bog in the fields at the moment. As he is a TB I don't want to take any chances with naughty beans and thought he might need to run :p.
The grass is def coming through though, his dropping are like green cow pats and he's hooning about like a mad thing in the field so his norty time is probably just around the corner :p.
 
I am lying in bed clutching my collar bone from being ambulanced to hospital on Friday night - so yes, Norty Norty pony!!! ;-)
 
Yep he's like a child on blue smarties :rolleyes: I have no breaks, going in a straight line is impossible and being tied up means he feels the need to run round like a muppet then threaten to rear and I have just enterd him in his first ode I must be mad.
 
I have to say my boy has been the best behaved since I got him two years ago :D

Hope all yours settle soon, I do know how frustrating it is :rolleyes:
