Must be the autumnal weather because the new boy has been well on his toes today. When I arrived at field he had a mad five minutes of bucking and galloping round the field and then when we swapped him and the old girl over he galloped off up the field as soon as I took his headcollar off, bucking all the way.

Glad he's feeling so well, this is from a horse we were told is too lazy to bother ! Think it's the wind in his tail and the fact he's lost some weight also. As long as he doesn't try it when we're riding, bless him xx
 
Mine was a bit mental too earlier. She keeps doing it though, I'll be poo picking and she'll be quietly grazing, then all I hear is "du-dum du-dum du-dum" and turn round, there she is flat out bucking and broncing across the field... right at me :eek: Luckily she just comes right up to me and then darts in the other direction. Today she went a bit too fast when cantering around and I had left my barrow to go and get a poo from a bit further away, saw her charging at the barrow, sliping at the wrong time so she couldnt get around it and thought, oh **** she's gonna crash into it!!! Luckily she used her brain and jumped over it!! This is an ex-racer who has hardly ever jumped, let alone jumped a wheel barrow!! Crazy ponies ...
 
My old girl took off with me tonight faster than normal. Wasn't sure if it was because I've just started her back on hard feed (only pasture mix), the weather, because we always canter there and she fancied a gallop or because she wanted to get home quicker.

Whatever it was I didn't have any real brakes and galloped/cantered much further than I intended - good job I was alone and could shout and yell 'whoa' as loud as I wanted.

Still, blew a few cobwebs out and put a smile on my face :)
