Does anyone else have trouble turning their horse out? Ginge hates going back to the field...he drags his hooves and reluctantly walks on but to be honest it's a bit of a struggle.
his ears are back the whole way. he gets on with the other horses so I don't get it??

Taking him out the field is another thing, he walks with a spring in his step to his stable and although never pulls or barges, his ears are forward and he appears more happy when he knows he's heading into his stable. I don't think it's a food thing either....


Once in the field he walks off and grazes with the others.....

aww but I love him
:)
 
Mine used to spin round (often before you had the leadrope off and chiffney and lungeline made no difference) and then bolt out the field and either run up and down, and up and down, or promptly return to his stable! Needless to say with a lot of groundwork he now just stands like a donkey and wanders off still in his field... But he often just stands by the gate looking miserable (unless the grass is lush!!).

Ironically when the mood takes him, I sometimes cant catch him!! But always coming in he virtually drags me in and bounces back to his stable quite happily :P
