So I rode Zoomy this morning. We had so much rain yesterday that the ground was very muddy and slippy. We went for a hack and I was SO careful about choosing where to do faster work and took it really easy. I have given her 4 days off since she was very slightly sore on her left side after jumping the other day (although the next morning she was fine, I am always mega-paranoid).

I fed her breakfast and turned her out. She GALLOPED away at full speed, did a handbrake turn, back end went and she fell on her arse, panicked, jumped up, galloped off again bucking and farting!!!

Why do we bother?! I swear the silly moo has no self-preservation at all. Plus, I can understand stabled horses being exuberant when turned out but she lives out ALL THE TIME! Tee-hee, never mind. I think she just likes me to get stressed out before work!!

just thought you should have a reply! silly zoomy, but i love that she is still so excited about the field! ferdie is now getting turned out with the big boys, and covered in bites from his rather over exhuberant playing - despite never having been turned out before he came to the UK, he's taken to it like a duck to water and decided that he would rather like to be head of the herd please, cocky git

Poor Zoomy. She just wanted to show you it was ok to have a hoon around

She does always look completely shamed! When she gets up she's like 'what?? I totally meant to do that!'

Larry does the same (all 17.1 of him!!) He stands there for a second looking shell shocked, then catches on that we are looking at him and hoons off again!
