Though, to be fair to him it wasn't entirely his fault. I was leading him from his stable to the arena for his play session - mistake one was that I should have asked OH to lead him because he was a tad bolshy in the stable, and I'm still hobbling around on one crutch.

Second mistake was leading him in just his headcollar (no rope) which I do without issue every day normally!

When we got to the gate, Snip, who was already in there with another horse, came crashing over to us and tried to bite Rhythm....Rhythm took a few quick steps backwards (if I was able bodied, and/or had him on a ;ead rope then it would not have been an issue at all) and I had to let go of the headcollar.

Normally he would just stand there, but they've all got spring fever at the moment and he turned tail and legged it across the yard, bucking and skipping and squealing!

It took 3 people, and about 15 mins to finally corner and catch him, the little buger just kept cantering off like it was some sort of game!!!! lol
 
Wish I'd caught a picture of his face when he was caught....such a naughty little glint in his eye, whilst at the same time managing to look cute and innocent....like he was thinking 'teehee, I did bad thing!'
 
Yep, that's him. He's so well behaved I've become a bit complacent...my other one, Snip, I'd never dream of just leading him in a headcollar because he normally acts like such a pillock, but the baby is always so good!

Def spring fever!!!
 
Just because he's so cute...

And yes, he IS growing, yes he IS bum high! lol!!

bad ponies!! i have to say, i love the name rhythm!! :-)

His FULL name is (Indigo - prefix) Fascinating Rhythm (for the Cleo Laine song of the same name as his dam's name is Cleo.) All her foals - all by my stallion - are named with 'a connection' to Cleo - or Jazz.

1st was Jazz King (5 yo - now hunting in the West Country for a Lady Field Master.
2nd - Fascinating Rhythm (4yo)
3rd - Lady Ella (3 yo) for Ella Fitzgerald who was Cleo's 'inspiration' and the latest (now a yearling as Cleo decided she'd have a year off) is Clementine (which was Cleo Laine's christened name.) The two fillies are still with me.

And the next is due in about 6 weeks!

Strangely enough, they are all VERY similar except her first (Jazz King) who is much more 'traditional' - the rest are more like Mum!

This is Mum - she's 17.1 so no surprise Rhythm is a big boy!
