Hi
Is anyone else experiencing spring fever? My 17hh 6yr old cob x irish draft is literally losing the plot atm! Hes bucking spinning trying to run off, running backwards, acting like a rodeo horse with apparently nothing setting him off. Only problem being it started last October. Its only happened 6 times but its super scary. I've had horses for 40yrs. He's had all the usual checks ie physio saddler dentist veterinary work up farriers opinion bitting specialist and all is good. He's on simple systems so no added sugar to speak of. I'm thinking of letting him go if I can't get resolution to the issues. This would be gutting as he's such a sweet boy in every way other than these random occurrences. It's always been when hacking out, even in company. He's mosty been fine in sand school until this week when he's done it twice and a previous episode last July when I got my ribs broken
