I think there's something in the air ...

My 4yearsstandinginafield ex racehorse who since I have had him as always liked to be out. So I've obliged and for the most part he's been out 24/7 since I got him. But he lost a lot of weight when we were at the old yard, so now we've moved he's in every night just so he can get his fill of hay and build up more condition. He's hated it, every night we'd argue, and I'd win so he'd be in for the night. Every morning he would be out like a flash in to the field.

Except for the last few days. We've moved into the fancy American barn, he's stabled next to a little filly, who he lays as close to the wall as he can to be near her. I got down today took ages for him to come out of the stable. We walked a few paces, he stopped. We walked he nudged me then turned back around.

My outdoor tb is now loving his life as a pampered posh pony

Tasel he's costing me a bomb in bedding and hay each night now!! He loves his Stable and his young girlfriend!

Sounds like true love! Maybe he's found his horsey soul mate! LOL

Welshcob. I wouldn't mind so much but he's nearly 14 and she's 4 months!

aww


Might be the stable too.

My horse hated her stable on our old yard - she was always desparate to get out and so on.
We moved to a yard with large open air barn style almost 2 years ago and she was so much more happy right from the start. Plus its drier and cosier for me too!

Maybe he's not in romantic love. He's a foster daddy.

Sounds about right for a middle aged bloke to me.

The owner of the foal says its adorable, when the goal lies down, my lad lies as close to the stable walk as he can. Usually hitting the wall and shaking everything!

Fiona I think it is mid life crisis. He's running after a young lass and doesn't like the cold in his old bones now.
