Why is it that the 5 yr old who has been on box rest for 6 months and only turned out for the last week can behave himself (a bit) and not smash through his electrified pen and escape BUT the 8 yr old who's out 8 hours a day and ridden 6 days a week smashes through the electrified pen releasing said was behaving 5 yr old!!! 
I had to close my eyes last night at one point at the sheer speed the 5 yr old was careering around the big field he was not supposed to be in my vet would have a heart attack if he had seen it, its only been a week since he finally got the all clear to be on restricted turnout. Needless to say the boys have been split up and put in solitary confinement!! I am awaiting my friends bossy mare to arrive next week on livery as she will put the misbehaving boys back in their places!
I know the two of them only want to play but i just cant risk it with the 5 yr old atm so i ruined all their fun! The 8 yr old clearly knew he was in the dog house last night as he didn't even attempt to use any of his new found evasion tactics with me when schooling!!
Does anyone else have any scheming naughty geldings or is it just me?!
