Im sorry its me again

Are anyone elses horses hyper?
Oscar is mad!! trying to get the others to play all the time and when I picked out his feet today he did little bunny hops!!

Now my question is it is purely spring time summer in the air happiness or (what concerns me!) Is it beacue i have chaged his diet?!

He has been hyper for about 7-10 days and I changed him from pony nuts, chaff and suger beet to Fast fibre, brewers yeast, seaweed,linseed, mag and calcium. Would this be the cause?

He only gets two mug fulls of FF a day and looks really well on it!! He lives out and has prob 2 secs of hay a day!! I know that doesnt sound much but the grass is green!!

I cant imagin FF has anything in it to heat him up??? :D but he is full of beans!! Took him out for walk the other day and got dragged, we stopped and started for 3 miles he wasnt even slightly tired and he is only a baby (I know he's 2 but he will alwayas be my baby!!) And usually tires easier.

He is having a growth spurt dno if this makes a differnce.

Sorry if I bore you!! But if it is his diet he will need changing :( Any and all suggestions thanks!!!
 
hi!

my mare has been crazy for a while and i put it down to hormones . Think that's a major factor but beginning to think spring grass must take some responsibility!

My 2 year old is also a little springy and cheeky at the mo. he wants to play with anyone in his field and is generally enjoying the spring.have no doubt he'd be misbehaving if we were doing any 'work'!

so enjoy!



so...
