I'm starting too! lol my horses are now called houdinis.

You have houndini ruin who gets out of his rugs...some how! lol

and you now have houdini danny who we are now suspecting he is jumping the fence...and being he only started this two days ago (two days after me and my partner teaching him how to jump properly (not a stag leap or cow leap) hes getting in to the forbidden field (we are saving it for hay for winter)

OOo little monsters!!

cant help but laugh as the state i found them in yesterday was quite a giggle!
 
I don't think it is always from being taught to jump, my yearling discovered jumping at 8months. and i often get a phonecall telling me him and his field friend have popped the wall to visit Mr farmers lush grass haha i think the grass must be greener on th other side :)
 
just got a text of the y/o who has said houdini has done it again, Got to say it cracked me up. Defo my fault as he didnt have a clue before! haha one lesson running along side him and he thinks hes milton haha!
 
Oh no don't tell me that I put my new youngster in the field for the first time ever when we got him and Dad said you know he could clear that gate without even trying and I was like really.

Now you said that I am concerned that when we show him how to jump with co-ordination he is going to jump straight out the field on to the road if he does try it I am hoping into the field where the grass is greener!
 
hope not! i know its a youngster thing to be a rebel haha! for your sake being theirs a road there ide be worried sick with danny being too big for his boots! haha

problem is he is very fine tuned to if i crack up laughing or clap he keeps doing it...and being i was on the floor in tears being his headcollar was all over the place too (one ear in one ear out) and a smug but im stuck mum look on his face he must now think its a good thing -.- ill try to post a picture up later, as i had to take one haha
 
yes.

mine decided yesterday that (again) the grass is greener so tried to jump electric fencing into her next field. Luckily i stopped her....notbefore she tried to then climb it!!

She has jumped out of a 5 foot fence (out of the arena) but took the fence with her (cue vet bill)

also jumped the 3.5 foot or so of electric fencing at her last yard as i brought her ut of the field.....she lept back in....

shes so naughty :D

shes 6 tomorow....she did most of her jumping age 4/just 5 as i only taught her to jump then.... she obvsiously decided she needed extra practise!! :D
 
o_0 gawd i hope he stays a flumpy cob the fence is about 3 foot though but we think hes jumping the broken bit which is about 1ft lol i dread to think the height he can jump but as long as its not high enough to clear the fences out of the yard i dont mind so much!!

(still this is a pain hes eating the hay!)

Get him on the circuit lol potential Milton in the making and he must enjoy jumping if he's doing it on his own accord :)

If only. that horse was my idol of all jumping horses. alas i could never see a chunky weight bearing cob doing any of that (perhaps smaller leaps we will attempt to!) haha

if he enjoys it i best get some lessons on jumping as ive avoided it for so many years i have no idea if i can still do it with staying on board! :D
