not a wind up honest!
Sent my highland youngster away for backing, when I picked her up we were all standing round her box chatting and noticed that she was sniffing her leg. standing head down, sniffing below knee on front leg, nostrils flared, occasional gulping. very calm almost trancelike. we were actually worried she was choking but after distraction she happily ate hayledge from my hand, all aok. tacked up and ridden fine
Since she has been home I have seen her do it here, both in the field and in the box.
She is absolutely fine in every way, its just a very odd thing.
Wondered if anyone had any ideas?
