All our horses seem to be full of themselves at the moment. They are spookier and naughtier than normal and we're putting it down to the grass which just keeps growing due to this warm and wet weather. The ones who are off the grass seem to be less wild. Is anyone else finding the same?
 
My TB who is normally a little angel has turned into a monster the last few weeks! She gets so stressy when she's full of it - I've been doing a lot of long reining with her and every time I do it she charges into the school and goes straight into canter - no matter how many times I tell her she is supposed to warm up slowly!
 
My mare always used to get a little silly when the grass came good - she was much calmer when it was red hot and the grass was like straw on the field - was still always a little bit round though! Lol.
 
On the contrary, my pony has turned into a steady neddy, he loves all the sunshine after the horrible rain we had. The YO saw Toto totally flat out in his field in the sun one morning, he was sunbathing!
