Bloody tbs!!!!!

[MontyandZoom]

So I've just had a call from another owner at the field. When I got Monty he was a sweaty obsessed freak who paced and weaved for hours at the gate.

He does like the ladies but him and Zoom generally just hang about together. I was talking to this owner just yesterday about how Monty is a chilled out happy guy now.........

Well today, he has been running the fence all day because a new mare in the other field is his one true love. We have two fields in summer, one for fatties and laminitics and one for thinnies. None of the other horses has been able to get to the water trough since he is guarding it so the lady asked to move him to the small fattie field to be with the new mare just until I get there tonight.

He is in the small field happily grazing (even though there's no grass) so it's fine for now and all the others went over for a good long drink.

Zoom is away competing this week so I'm guessing that's why he's stressed and I know that he's a tb and his routine is upset.......but FFS he's nearly 30 and I can't take the worry!!! GRRRRRR!

.....sorry......

Maybe he heard you say how chilled out he was in his old age and thought he'd prove you wrong

It's funny how some of them just can't grow old with dignity, would you really want it any other way?

oh no! There's me hoping mine might grow out of it!!!

It is not just TB's i had to get a cob in from the field yesterday because she was sweated up to the eye balls and running about. I think she was too hot but running wont help, she is normally really settled and laid back so god knows what got into her yesterday.

I though my old lad was getting settled with age...apparantly not.....jogging sideways around the woods , belting off accross the crop field after a throwing a few shapes....then back to the yard with eyes on stalks for the scary chicken that live down the lane ( these, apparantly are completely different from the chickens on the yard)....
I put him in the small turnout whilst I went to get the other 2 in, as he will weave for England if in his stable alone.......I could hear him 1/4 of a mile away up the hill shouting and carrying on...when I got back onto the yard there he was, by the gate---weaving and dancing and whinneying. No wonder he loses weight easily, he has his own personal work-out......God love 'em

Ditto that! I have a 27yo tb nutter who had a bath at the weekend and then decided that he would prance around the woods dragging me into the nettles in my shorts as he felt so good smelling all fresh and lovely! I almost lost him cos he was pulling and barging so much! Dont you just love em?!

Oh yes, glad it is not just me. When Dex went to the new field ( at a riding school) he had all 20 horses to choose to be in love with, but oh no, he had to hve crushes on the safest ponies that had to be used for the smaller children. He would go mad, every saturday, to the point of going head over heals ( resulting in a huge vets bill, the first one in 12 years of having him, ahhhh)

Do not worry these OAP's do get over it (((hug))))
