Is it buck-a-roo winter yet?

[pagancluf]

Not been out on Cluf since last week-end, he was a saint last week-end, steady trot, canter etc - today?!?!... took him on a hack with friend and he was a donkey on the roads but as soon as we hit the grass he went into jog, head flinging mode, and was trying to canter side ways...Has everyone elses horses heated up suddenly? It still amazes me that in Summer he is a donkey and in winter a pshyco (check spelling?) also he wants to trow mini bucks in all the time - six in a 200m canter stretch... Do you think I should lunge before go out next time?
